Some wallflowers bloom at night...

A Spindle Cove Novella

Violet Winterbottom is a quiet girl. She speaks six languages, but seldom raises her voice. She endured bitter heartbreak in perfect silence. The gentlemen aren't beating down her door.

Until the night of the Spindle Cove Christmas ball, when a mysterious stranger crashes into the ballroom and collapses at Violet's feet. His coarse attire and near-criminal good looks would put any sensible young lady on her guard. He's wet, chilled, bleeding, and speaking in an unfamiliar tongue.

Only Violet understands him. And she knows he's not what he seems.

She has one night to draw forth the secrets of this dangerously handsome rogue. Is he a smuggler? A fugitive? An enemy spy? She needs answers by sunrise, but her captive would rather seduce than confess. To learn his secrets, Violet must reveal hers—and open herself to adventure, passion, and the unthinkable... Love.

Warning: The heroine packs a pistol, the hero curses in multiple languages, and together they steam up a cold winter’s night.

我的評比:4葉

版上大推的A Week to Be Wicked我去看了,真的很有趣,謝謝寫評推薦的同學們。
本來想好好的把(Spindle Cove)這系列都看完的,結果第一本A Night to Surrender的節奏有點慢,只記得一堆山丘和羊,主角之間也很無趣,看了幾章就棄書了,後來換了另一本One Dance with a Duke也是看個開頭就沒繼續讀了,但是不知怎的我居然看完了Once Upon a Winter's Eve,剛好這本書還沒人介紹,就來補評一下吧!

 

好幾年前看的記憶已模糊,若與實際劇情有出入莫見怪。
這個故事相較於作者其他書,評價不算高,而且又是中篇的,我卻覺得很好看,一開始就很吸引我的眼球。
在一個冬夜裡的舞會,突然闖進了一位英俊受傷的陌生人,走到璧花女主的面前就不支倒地,昏迷不醒,嘴裡還說著讓人聽不懂的語言,這個陌生人與害羞安靜的女主有甚麼關係呢?大家紛紛猜測著。
眾人打算把私闖的陌生人救醒審問他,並請女主照顧此人,女主以為陌生人是那個奪走她貞操,第二天留一張紙條就消失的愛人,可他現在應該在千里之外,而熟悉的陌生人醒來後卻說著令人聽不懂的語言並且裝作不相識,他倒底是誰?究竟兩人有著怎樣糾結的過去??接下來我就不爆雷了

我覺得作者把男主的謎和兩人之間不可告人的秘密處理的挺不錯的,會讓讀者想知道答案而繼續看下去,男主角死也要見女主一面有稍微加點分回來(雖然他之前睡過就走,也沒有想過女主會不會懷孕的行為很渣),可惜太快讀完很不過癮啊!!

✽本書可獨立閱讀,不用先看過其他本。
