Description
The Davies and Montgomery families have been locked in an
ancient feud. But it’s a thin line between love and hate in Kate
Bateman's A Daring Pursuit.
TWO ENEMIES
Carys
Davies is doing everything in her power to avoid marriage. Staying
single is the only way to hide the secret that could ruin her—and her
family—if it was revealed. For the past two seasons she’s scandalized
the ton with her outrageous outfits and brazen ways in a futile
bid to deter potential suitors. Outwardly confident and carefree, inside
she’s disillusioned with both men and love. There’s only one person
who’s never bought her act—the only man who makes her heart race:
Tristan Montgomery, one of her family’s greatest rivals.
ONE SCANDALOUS BARGAIN
Wickedly
proper architect Tristan needs a respectable woman to wed, but he’s
never stopped wanting bold, red-headed Carys. When she mockingly
challenges him to show her what she’s missing by not getting married,
Tristan shocks them both by accepting her indecent proposal: one week of
clandestine meetings, after which they’ll go their separate ways. But
kissing each other is almost as much fun as arguing, and their affair
burns hotter than either of them expects. When they find themselves
embroiled in a treasonous plot, can they trust each other with their
hearts, their secrets…and their lives?
4 STARS
Carys was an outrageously good main character. Outrageous being the main word. Flamboyant, a bit wild, sometimes reckless, kind at heart, caring, and someone who loved animals.
Tristan really did seem like a stiff, stern, disapproving man until you got to dig a bit deeper. One of my favorite observation by Tristan was that Carys was like, ''a sliver of shrapnel under his skin".
Tristan's aunts, Prudence and Constance brought a smile to my face.
This one took me a while to really get into. But it had some good moments of humor and things do ramp up quite a bit towards the end. Bonus points also for the epilogue.
