** spoiler alert ** What is up with book descriptions not being completely true to what the book is actually about? Not cool, dude. So, because the back cover seems to be written before the book was actually finished (or by someone who didn’t bother to read it at all… or both): Lord Deverall is now in serious trouble because his older brother ran up some humongous debts. This is mentioned in like the first chapter – I really don’t see why this key plot point was left out. The book started off pretty promising, Lord Deverall trying to enchant Sophie because 1-he thinks she’s smokin’ and 2-he needs money and she’s got it. And because we wouldn’t have a story if Sophie actually gave into him, most of the book is about Lord Deverall’s uh, courtship of her? I get kind of hung up over names, and this book was no exception. Our hero is named Lucas Deverall, and I keep calling him Lord Deverall because I really don’t care for the name Lucas. Why? I don’t know. Maybe because it makes him sound like the boy next door, not the heart-breakingly dashing hero. His BFF is George Carstairs, a meh name as well (the George, not the Carstairs. Makes me think of Henry VIII). Sophie’s best friend is named Minerva something, I can’t remember her last name because I’m too busy thinking of Minerva McGonagall o_O The only well-denominated character is Sophie, so this book kind of drove me nuts with everyone else running around with their less-than-stellar handles. Yes – I know this makes zero sense *tear* This book was a fun, fluffy read which I definitely recommend if you like that sort of thing. Not going to be an epic classic by any means but very enjoyable. If you were wondering, I didn’t post the cover because the guy on it really gives me the heebie-jeebies. He looks more like a villain than a dashing hero… Not gonna lie, it almost turned me off buying it in the first place. At the very end, because we have to keep our hero and heroine rich and titled and all, suddenly Lord Deverall is Mr. Darcy-like and successfully maneuvers his creditors into accepting a fraction of what they’re actually owed. Wait, what? The vibe I’d gotten from him previously was that he was of the handsome devil-may-care-type, and now he has to be all cool and calculating? I know it was all part of the plan, but still – dislike. It was all good until this last part, really. Not an epic classic, but still a fun, fluffy read. As a general recap, this was a like – a pretty unusual plot, which was nice; it was cute but not overly so; there was a happy ending; and I really enjoyed that the book occasionally switched to Lord Deverall’s perspective. (Also -I have to point this out- I really do like the name Deverall.) So cough up the 99 cents, totally worth it if you like Regency romance novels. More reviews? Find me at Dannabella.com! :)

Las próximas semanas, Edward no se presenta a la escuela, pero el resto de su familia sí. Cuando Edward finalmente regresa, Bella iba a acercarse a él y preguntarle por qué tenía un problema con ella, pero ella se acobardó. En biología, Edward se presenta a sí mismo, a él y a Bella hablando. En el almuerzo, Bella es invitada por sus amigos a la playa de La Push y ella invita a Edward, pero él no puede venir.

Hacia el final del libro, un grupo de tres vampiros se detiene mientras los Cullen están jugando béisbol con Bella mirando. Esto se convierte en un problema, James el rastreador del grupo y Victoria su novia persiguen a Bella para que puedan matarla y burlarse de Edward. Edward y su familia hacen todo lo posible para proteger a Bella. James engaña a Bella y la lleva a su antiguo estudio de ballet y cuando Edward viene a sacarla de allí, muerde a Bella en el brazo y casi la transforma en un vampiro.
