Love, love, love this story! I love how wonderfully sassy, independent, stubborn, and determined Eliza is throughout the entire story. Jasper sinfully delicious and I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful read as Pride and Pleasure.

I hope we won't have to wait too long for Sylvia to write another historical novel since I love all the ones I've gotten to read so far. Not to mention, I wonder if Sylvia has any plans to write the story of the Earl of Westfield (who is the grandson of Marcus and Elizabeth in Ask for It since he has a supporting role in this novel.

Overall, I love this story and couple.

Ok, this book felt very rushed and at time unbelievable. The relationship moved so quickly, it makes Eva and Gidion look like they were taking it slow.

The plot was ok but the need for everything to be tied off kind of ruined it and the relationship was rather crazy. Not one of Sylvia's best i'd say and the incident was never actually explained...

Knygos siužetas gana įdomus – nestinga visokiausių vingių ir posūkių istorijoje, aišku pasitaikydavo ir gana nuspėjamų akimirkų. Lengvas, linksmas romanas, bet ar vertas dėmesio nežinau. Buvau iškėlusi gana aukštą kartelę šiai autorei, bet pirmoji jos skaityta knyga – pasirodė vidutiniška.

mbora os livros eróticos não sejam a minha primeira opção de leitura, confesso que estou positivamente impressionada com a escrita de Sylvia Day num contexto histórico, em que consegue não só oferecer pormenores de época cativantes, como construir personagens fortes e inteligentes que se mesclam na perfeição com a ousadia das suas palavras.

Este é o segundo título que leio da sua série Historical e, uma vez mais, senti-me envolvida pelo decorrer dos acontecimentos e a evolução dos seus intervenientes, ao longo de páginas onde o mistério, a acção e principalmente o romance abundam, com uma pitada de humor e diálogos pertinentes que, juntamente com as descrições, dão a ver o suficiente sobre o universo onde a história se desenvolve.

Como elucida a sinopse, ao longo do enredo assistimos à relação que vai crescendo entre Eilza e Jasper, duas vidas em lados opostos da sociedade e que, logo após um primeiro encontro, sentem os efeitos da química evidente entre ambos. Ela é uma jovem rica da nata londrina que se sente ameaçada por um dos seus muitos pretendentes e, desesperada para descobrir a fonte dos seus problemas, qual dos cavalheiros atenta em segredo contra a sua integridade, contrata-o a ele, um mero caçador de ladrões, para se fazer passar por mais um interessado na sua mão enquanto investiga quem será o possível criminoso.
Previsivelmente, os afectos entre o par começam a ultrapassar o mero acordo profissional e antes que se apercebam acabam com um novo dilema por resolver, o do seu coração.

Ok this is one of those books that fit a genre perfectly. It is a wonderful romance through and through. I enjoyed every page of it. Jasper and Eliza were written perfectly for each other and I found Eliza reminded me a lot of Bones from the TV show. Great read.

I love Sylvia Day, but this book did not meet my expectations. It was predicatble and silly, and yes I know its a corset ripping romance novel but I have read better. I'm disappointed.
