Sabrina Jeffries never disappoints! I really enjoyed What the Duke Desires and am excited to read stores on the rest of the Duke's Men. Max and Lisette are both great characters. I liked them both right from the start and they have great chemistry. Max is closed off and haunted by “the family curse” and comes to Lisette's brother's house thinking that her bother is trying to take advantage of him. Lisette wastes no time putting the haughty duke in his place. Together they had great chemistry and were fun to read about. Characters for the future books in the series, Lisette's 2 brothers and Max's cousin are engaging, likable and more than a little stubborn. I can't wait to read about the women that put them all in their place!
I got this book as a free read on Kindle and loved it. The story is cute and funny and doesn't progress in the way that I expected which made me like it even more. The way the characters progressed from teenagers to adults seemed very real to me. This is a great story and I highly recommend it!
This is an great story about an amazing group of men and women who fought to save the cultural history of Europe in the final months of World War II. I'm glad that this book and the new movie are bringing attention to this forgotten part of Allied history. These men and women are examples of why our grandparents have earned the right to call themselves The Greatest Generation.
Edsel tells the story well, weaving in the paths that each of the Monuments Men took through Western Europe into one narrative. This is a history book that is written to be accessible to the non-history types who just want to read a good, fast paced, almost too crazy to be true story. It's really a treasure hunt and the twists keep story moving and the pages turning!
Note to self: just read everything by Rainbow Rowell. Always. Then read it again.
