Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>"No matter where I traveled, you were always what was missing."</i></b></blockquote>I'm eating my words about period romance novels, because I'm finding new books to love within this genre and now Tessa Dare joined this very select list for me. This was a quick novella in the Spindle Cove series (I don't know why I started with this, because it spoils a lot of the series, but ok), a fast, fun and steamy read. I liked the premise of the story and the characters, and got really interested in reading more from this series and this author. The romance was SO good! Yes, it was cliché, but I liked how the characters compliment each other very well, and the chemistry is off the charts. One of the things that made me enjoy this so much was the fact that the female character is this independent, strong-willed woman who is successful, with a career, in a time where women should aspire to any of this - and she is also inspiring others to do the same. And the male protagonist encourages her, doesn't want her to give that up for him (the same way he didn't give up his dreams and aspirations for her), and is proud of what she accomplished and wants her to be more than just 'his wife' and lady of the house. If all the books by Tessa Dare, or at least the Spindle Cove series, has this undercurrent, I already know I'll love them all. I can't wait to pick up more books and find out!
