#BookLove2018: Sebastien de Cleish
¡GRANDIOSO!
Me encanta la tensión entre ellos desde el inicio. Cuando Sebastien se hace con el castillo y la toma de la barbilla diciéndole: ¿boda o muerte? Con esa mirada que prometía cumplir su palabra, supe, que me había enamorado del libro. Cuando él la seduce para disfrutar en su cama y luego ella se siente sucia y traidora, supe que había caído un poco más por el libro. PERO, cuando Sebastien, pide al rey que deje a los niños a su cargo, supe que simplemente él me había derretido.
La mezcla entre un guerrero sangriento y un hombre que nunca ha tenido familia pero que prueba las comodidades de un hogar, de una esposa y luego simplemente no quiere dejarlo, me enamora. Me gusta que él es firme cuando debe serlo, pero dulce y atento a pesar de todo. Mata cuando debe hacerlo y no niega lo que es y se ha ganado todo lo que tiene por su espada.
El papá de Lara, es un maldito, y su familia igual. Me encantó cuando Malcom decide agarrar a Catriona y obedecer a Sebastien en lugar de a Lara, demuestra la madurez del niño en sus decisiones.
Fue un libro estupendo. -
4.5 stars

Not the best, not the worst.
At some point it's quite boring. -
Terri Brisbin does a remarkable job bringing to life what it could have been like during the reign of Robert the Bruce. The heroine, Lara, believing that she is protecting her father's children, loses the stronghold to Bruce's men and is forced to marry his officer, Sebastian. Her father is captured and openly berates and disowns her. Lara must come to terms with her hostile feelings toward Sebastian and the fact that her father is not the man she believed he was.
When I first began to read I wondered how Lara was going to get herself out of her horrible mess. This extremely well written account of Lara's turmoil and the caring man who captures her family's castle will change her forever... -
Not the best, not the worst. I liked the premise of the book but the female lead was too romance novel typical for me (not thinking clearly and constantly messing things up because of it) and started grating on my nerves. Still it was an easy read and I liked the twist at the end with Robert the Bruce.

I don't love it, i don't hate it. it was okay. 2.5 STARS.

Escritura impecable. Entretenido. Perfecto para pasar una tarde en cama, relajada y leyendo un ligero y ardiente romance. Sebastien fue tan tierno.

To me this was an interesting read, and I've liked all of the Terri Brisbin books I've read so far. I didn't like the heroine in this one though. I'd like to think if I were in her shoes and falling in love with a man like Sebastien, I would have confessed what I did before he went off to the last battle. Times were different way back then and I do understand her confusion, fear, and motivations. I liked the story for the most part, I just never warmed to Lara.

Tardé un poco para que me atrapara la novela, pero después no pude dejarla. Realmente es muy buena y aunque sea una novela corta, tiene la suficiente intriga, drama y romance como para darle un 4.5, de ahí la razón por la que le di el 5 completo aunque dudé por un segundo si darle los 5 o 4 por todas las páginas que pasé antes de que me atrapara.
-
I didn't love it, but it was okay. 2.5 stars. I think one of Brisbin's weak points is her character development. I did not connect to any characters, I did not root for them and I didn't feel any substantial depth to them either.

Excelente lectura

Como consequência de ter viajado e esquecido de trazer o livro que ando a ler, eis que me vejo em frente às estantes à procura de uma leitura rápida. Pois foi este o que veio comigo.
Este pequeno livro de bolso oferece tudo - crime; guerra; assassinatos; espionagem; ciúme; amor... - e eu como leitora agradeço.
Admito que desconhecia esta autora e este é mesmo o meu primeiro contacto com uma obra sua.
Apesar de se tratar de um livro pequeno, nota-se que a autora teve muito trabalho durante a escrita deste (por demais evidente na Nota da autora, onde se revela que este enredo é baseado num facto real, a batalha de Brander Pass.
Resumindo, é um livro bem construído e sem qualquer pressa na finalização. O único senão é a fraca caracterização psicológica de algumas personagens.
Sem dúvida um pedacinho delicioso de romance histórico. -
This was a fast read which I needed at this point. I didn't have a whole lot of reading time to myself the last few days so it was nice to have a fun easy book to relax with during the few moments I did have to just sit by myself. The hero in this tale was a nice change from some. He didn't use brute force to get his way, he was content to leave the ball mostly in her court and let his actions show the kind of man he was.

molto diverso da quello che mi aspettavo, molto attinente alla realtà storica, quasi del tutto assente la componente erotica, ma solo lievemente accennata. Al contrario è molto incentrato sul rapporto tra Sebastian e Lara e su come quest'ultima cerchi l'equilibrio tra l'amore e l'onore. molto molto carino

Another enjoyable read by Terri Brisbin. I do enjoy Scottish romances based on real events and real clans. This has a good combination of real historical events and romance. Just loved Sebastien.
Felt towards the end the story felt like it wound up too quickly. -
Just ok, not the worst. Uneven in some places, and wanting to create something that is just not there. A case of telling instead of developing, showing. Gave up somewhere in the 60% as i felt it was beginning to be a waste of time.
-
I didn't like the lady's character, I was expecting a tough and wise heroine.

:)
Uma historia em que acção decorre na era medieval.
