it was amazing
bookshelves: historical

I'm not very fond of big misunderstandings, or of keeping information to him/herself, but here it was really, really very well done!

This book make me like things that usually I hate! :D

Everything that has been happening to Ian and Elizabeth was so well described and explained that I was in awe!

I loved Ian with his inflexibility, with his brilliant mind, with his ability to put himself into his adversary's mind. I loved him for his passionate, sweet, total love for Elizabeth. For only love like that has the ability to be wounded so deeply. And it was bittersweet to read how Ian faced what he percieved Elizabeth's treachery, how he masked his wounded heart with indifference. And it was much more sigh-worthy how he suffered when he cooled-off and understood why she did it. Ahhhhhhh.... so, so sweet!

I loved Elizabeth too. I understood why she did what she did. I loved how she wasn't afraid of Ian. How she faced everything with her head held high. She was not a weeping damisel-in-distress who cryed, but a strong woman who did what she had to do. I loved her love for Ian and I felt her heart breaking when she left him. I loved how she faced him with his same inflexibility when she understood why he did what he did. I loved that she didn't wanted to be just forgiven, but that she was ready to do everything she could think of to get Ian back!

A really, really great book! :D
