Reviewed by Nicole"Lady Christinas irritierend magischer Kuss" ist der dritte Teil der "Die verliebten Whickertons" Reihe. Jeder Teil kann unabhängig voneinander gelesen werden, in jedem geht es um einen anderen der sechs Whickertons Geschwister. doch wie es in dieser Familie so üblich ist, sie mischen sich überall ein. wie schon die ersten beiden Teile durfte ich auch dieses Buch wieder durch eine Leserunde kennenlernen. Auch dieses Cover hat mich wieder vom ersten Moment an in seinen Bann gezogen. Da ich alle in dieser Familie mittlerweile so wahnsinnig lieb gewonnen habe, musste ich mich wieder einfach bewerben und habe mich wahnsinnig gefreut, das ich es wieder lesen durfte. Ich habe Lady Christina ja schon ein wenig kennenlernen dürfen und auf sie habe ich mich auch ganz besonders gefreut, sie trägt ihr Herz auf der Zunge und das hat sie hier wieder einmal sehr gut gezeigt. Da am Ende des letzten Teils immer schon das nächste Pärchen "vorgestellt" wird, wusste ich ja schon, um wen es sich hier handelt. Doch jetzt, ihre komplette Geschichte kennenzulernen, hat einfach nur Spaß gemacht. Ich lese ja unheimlich gerne Regency-Romance und die Whickertons sind da etwas ganz besonders, bei ihnen geht es nicht ums Ansehen oder besonders Adelig zu heiraten, bei ihnen steht die Liebe an erster Stelle und das zu dieser Zeit... Ich habe mit dem Buch morgens an meinem freien Tag noch im Bett angefangen zu lesen und konnte kaum wieder damit aufhören. Wenn ich nicht einen Termin gehabt hätte, hätte ich das Buch in eins durchgelesen, so sind es doch 1 1/2 Tage geworden. Ich war, wie ich es auch schon kenne wieder vom ersten Moment an in der Geschichte. Wer Regency liest, sollte diese Reihe unbedingt lesen. Ihr werdet sie lieben. Dankeschön das ich es lesen durfte. Der Schreibstil ist wieder wie ich ihn kenne und liebe einfach so schön. Er ist flüssig, locker und mitreißend. Außerdem wahnsinnig bildgewaltig. Einmal mit dem Buch angefangen war es viel zu schnell wieder vorbei. Lady Christina hat sich vorgenommen ihre beste Freundin vor einer erzwungenen, unglücklichen Ehe zu bewahren, Doch dabei gerät sie in eine kompromittierende Situation mit ausgerechnet diesem Mr. Sharp und sieht sich gezwungen ihn jetzt selber zu heiraten. Damit ist sie die erste Whickerton die nicht aus Liebe heiratet, oder vielleicht doch??
