Nach den beiden Panem-Büchern musste dringend was Entspannendes her, weshalb ich mir »His at Night« geschnappt habe. Blöderweise les ich inzwischen schon seit drei Tagen an dem Buch herum, ohne dass es mich gepackt hätte. Keine Ahnung, woran das liegt; normalerweise mag ich die Bücher der Autorin ja sehr, aber das hier nervt im Moment eher. Vielleicht ist der Szeneriewechsel zwischen dem futuristischen Panem und dem viktorianischen England doch zu krass?!
Inhalt:
Elissande Edgerton is a desperate woman, a virtual prisoner in the home of her tyrannical uncle. Only through marriage can she claim the freedom she craves. But how to catch the perfect man?
Lord Vere is used to baiting irresistible traps. As a secret agent for the government, he’s tracked down some of the most devious criminals in London, all the while maintaining his cover as one of Society’s most harmless—and idiotic—bachelors. But nothing can prepare him for the scandal of being ensnared by Elissande.
Forced into a marriage of convenience, Elissande and Vere are each about to discover that they’re not the only one with a hidden agenda. With seduction their only weapon—and a dark secret from the past endangering both their lives—can they learn to trust each other even as they surrender to a passion that won’t be denied?
Erster Satz:
The Marquess of Vere was a man of few words.
