![]() The Rub: To prove to his crush that his love was true and his rakehell ways were over, he joined the Royal Navy to impress her. Gabriel led a charmed life - he had a loving family, great looks, money, fame, popularity - but it wasn't enough to charm the one girl he wanted. The Dude: Gabriel Fairchild, Earl of Sheffield. The Rub: Her charge is a hostile, self-pitying ass, the servants are wimps, and even the Earl's own family would rather have nothing to do with him. ![]() The Chick: "Samantha Wickersham." This prim nurse with her dowdy clothes, "homely" spectacles, and dull auburn hair beats out, well, no candidates to land the job of nurse to the Earl of Sheffield, a social paragon turned shabby recluse thanks to the loss of his sight. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.Īlternate Title: Tale as Old as Time, Song as Old as Rhyme, Beauty and the Emotionally-Stunted Blind Man If you've already read the book, don't care, or, in Ana from The Book Smugglers' case, hate it "with the force of a thousand hurricanes," by all means read on. ![]() It has really enjoyable moments and, as I previously mentioned, a hella good twist, but is marred by some creepy and implausible moments towards the end. THIS IS A SPOILER THAT MIGHT BE WORTH BEING SURPRISED ABOUT IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT READING THE NOVEL. However, I can't really go into my traditional in-depth review without spoiling the hell out of it. It's a well-developed surprise that really contributed to my overall enjoyment of this novel. This novel has a pretty significant twist that smacked me right in the face. ![]()
