It was a nice enough story although with the language that was used, very proper English (well it sounded proper/posh) I sometimes felt like I was reading a historical romance instead of contemporary, but that might just be because I am used to read American authored Harlequins and very few British. It gave the entire book a bit of a dated, old fashioned vibe. But all in all I enjoyed it.
Listened to this for the Audible Romance Challenge, for category; Amish.
It was a really sweet story, really liked it, took 1 star off, as there where a few instances where lines were read twice, and the narrator was a bit off with his narration, sounding a bit too mechanical at times. But otherwise a really cute story.
Kreeg dit boek van de auteur nadat ik vertelde dat ik eigenlijk nooit Nederlandse auteurs lees omdat ik meer van Amerikaans/engelstalige auteurs hou. Zij wilde me overtuigen om Nederlandse auteurs een kans te geven. Ik heb dit boek gelezen en het was okay, maar dat is dan ook alles, het sprak me niet genoeg aan om de rest van de serie te lezen. Ik vond de vrouwelijke hoofdpersoon heel erg irritant en niet echt likeable. De schrijfstijl lag me ook niet echt. Ik bedank de auteur hartelijk voor de gift van dit boek, maar toch hou ik het nog steeds bij mijn Amerikaans/Engelse auteurs en boeken.
Doing the audible romance challenge and pickedthis book for the category 15th-16th century England. Now I am not really into historical romance, thatks why this challenge is great, it encourages you to broaden your horizon.
The story starts out a bit slow, but it drew me in from the start. Half way it really picks up and I really loved it. I will definitley pick up the other books in this series.
Second read, read the paperback this time as the audiobooks seem to have dissapeared. Decided to re-read to fresh up my memory before I read the other two books for my 2020 stacking the series challenge, as I never got to the other two books in the trilogy.
Listened to it for the 2nd time in preperation for Darker, and I really love Christian's POV so much more then Ana's. Where I struggled with the first book from Ana's POV, I could not stop listening to Christian, now onto Darker, which in the first trilogy, I loved way more then the first book, so looking forward to Christian's Darker.
If I could give this 10 stars I would. I read this book for the first time, twenty plus years ago, in Dutch. Loved it so much back then that it stayed with me in my mind for a long time. I got rid of the book a long time ago due to space restrictions. But last year I found a dutch copy, just as I had owned, in a thrift store so I bought it. But didn't come around reading it again, until a few weeks ago when I decided to go look for an English copy and found this edition and I fell in love with the cover. This time I was going to read it ASAP, and here I am, giving it 5 stars, but wishing I could give it 10. This story was as good as I remembered and the last chapters had me in tears, just as they had 20+ years ago. If you like time travel romance this is one story you will have to read. Oh how I love Nicholas, he is the perfect hero. They have outlander as tv show now...has there even been done anything with this book, This would be a perfect movie.
