The ravenels book 25/9/2023 ![]() The End.Īn odd, uneven book and, I'm sorry to say, with much wasted potential. ![]() From there on it's mostly sex, orchids, sex, "he mustn't know this implausible thing about my past or he's going to leave me!" drama, sex, orchids, quick resolution. Rhys, on his part, left sulking and pouting only days before, sulks and pouts a few minutes more, puts up some token recalcitrance and in the span of an instant suddenly turns into a magnificently besotted and horny hero to never look back. So she sets out to go to his office and take her chance at proposing. ![]() Shyness and class-conscious relatives notwithstanding, she wants Rhys Winterborne, a powerful Welsh businessman and former shop boy who grew up in the wrong side of London and who, through ambition and determination, now owns the world's largest department store. Queuing right after Cold-Hearted Rake's epilogue, the books opens as Lady Helen Ravenel has just made up her mind about her broken engagement and her future. And of spectacularly contrived plot twists. ![]() A sweeping Victorian romance of potted orchids and self-made men, Welsh interpolations and baffling characterisations. ![]()
