KUMSKI BOOK CLUB READING CHALLENGE 2017 - 14
(a collection of short stories)
Pročitala sam samo prve dvije priče (Miracles od Judith McNaught i Change of Heart od Jude Deveraux) jer ove druge dvije nisam mogla nigdje pronaći. A i iskreno, sasvim mi je dovoljno bilo pročitati ove dvije.
Znači, priče su tako blesave i besmislene. Recimo da su kraće verzije nekih knjiga koje sam već pročitala od McNaughtice i Deveraux.
Prva, Miracles je smještena u viktorijansku Englesku, a druga u suvremenu Ameriku i obje su izgleda dio nekog serijala, čiji su glavni likovi braća/najbolji prijatelji.
Što se tiče likova, svi su tipični kao i iz ostalih knjiga, muškarci tvrdoglavi, ne da im se reći, utuvit će si u glavu nešto što je naravno potpuno netočno, a žene su ponosne, ali naravno totalno padnju na takve muškarce. Zaplet isti kao i u svim drugim sličnim ljubićima.
Imala sam dojam kao da čitam bajke, posebno s ovom drugom, prezgodni "princ" na velikom crnom konju koji dolazi "spasiti" svoju ljubljenu. Sve kliše do klišea.
Ništa ne bih propustila ni da ih nisam pročitala.

A huge disappointment that Nicki was relegated to such an insignificant tale, and Julianna had the makings of being a really good Alex, part 2.

My 2nd annual read of Miracles by Judith McNaught <3
She’s the author that blooded me to romance, so I'm thrilled Sarah MacLean rec'd this on FatedMates last year. It’s a magical feeling novella ❤️

I have started a new tag since I bought this book. 'Anthologies that are worth purchasing for one story.' I have not read the other stories but [b:Daniel and the Angel|28218265|Daniel and the Angel (Christmas in the City, #1)|Jill Barnett|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1450210341s/28218265.jpg|15703656].
This historical romance was a little gem. At slightly under 100 pages it was one of those stories that was both uplifting and heartwarming.
Daniel had money. Lots of money. He thought he was happy until he ran into Lillian. Literally. One minute she was not there, the next she was and he thought she was hurt.
Regarding his money:
Lilli: "Did you ever hear the expression 'You can't take it with you'?"
Daniel: "Of course."
Lilli: "Where I come from, wealth doesn't matter."
Daniel: "Then it's probably a place I'd rather not visit."
Lilli: "I don't think that will be a problem."
On where she lives:
Lilli: "...I don't know where I live."
Daniel: "How convenient."
Lilli: "You don't believe me?"
Daniel: "No. I don't believe you."
Lilli: "I'm sorry."
Daniel: "I don't want apologies, just answers."
Lilli: "I wasn't apologizing. I'm sorry for you."

Read this story if you are feeling low and want a gentle romance. Read it for the dark brooding hero. Or buy it for their quirky conversations. Suffice-to-say, Lilli showed Daniel the true meaning of happiness.
