Opinião:
Gostei de ler este livro mas no fim fiquei com a dúvida se esta relação iria durar muito tempo.

Fallon St. James é o “chefe” da sociedade de herdeiros sobresselentes, e tenta controlar e saber tudo – não de uma maneira má, mas apenas como alguém que tem estado sozinho e habitou-se a ter o peso do mundo nos ombros – e entra Isabelle, que mostra que ele não precisa de ser assim, e que tem de aproveitar as coisas boas da vida.

Isabelle é inocente e ingénua, acredita no bem de todas as pessoas e vê o bem mesmo onde ele não existe. E adora arte, passando as suas tardes no Museu Britânico com a colecção de quadros da família, um deles o seu dote.

E no meio disto, Isabelle vê-se no meio de uma vingança de um ex-membro da sociedade de herdeiros sobresselentes, sendo manipulada e enganada. A bem e a mal, o que é o que a magoa. Mesmo que as razões fossem as melhores, Isabelle não é burra e merecia saber a verdade logo de início.

Mas Fallon não desiste de cuidar dela, mesmo sabendo que não cumpre a lista de requisitos de Isabelle para um marido. No fim, Isabelle percebe que só quer de um homem que a ame e cuide dela – e vice-versa.

Com mistério e vinganças, arte e romance, este livro transportou-me para um mundo doce, do qual planeio continuar a fazer parte com os outros livros desta série.

Review:
I really enjoyed reading this book but, in the end, I questioned myself about how long would this relationship last.

Fallon St. James is the “boss” of the Spare Heir Society, and he tries to control and know everything – not in a bad way, but simply because he started out alone and got used to having all the weight of the world on his shoulders, not trusting anyone else – queue Isabelle. She showed him that he didn’t need to do it all alone, that he must enjoy the good things in life and not only see it in the eyes of others.

Isabelle is an innocent and a naïve young lady, who believes in the good and sees it even if it’s not there – she always wants to believe a person is its better version. And she loves art, so she spends her afternoons at the British Museum, looking after her family’s collection, especially a painting that will be part of her dowry.

And in the middle of all of this, Isabelle is caught between the vengeance of a former member of the Spar Heir Society, being manipulated and deceived. For good and bad, this is what hurts her. Even if they thought they were doing it with her best interest in mind, Isabelle isn’t dumb and she deserved to know the truth from the start.

But Fallon doesn’t give up trying to take care of her, even knowing he doesn’t fill her list of requirements for a husband. In the end, Isabelle discovers that the only thing she really wanted was someone that would love her and take care of her, and that would allow her to do the same for her loved one.

With mystery and revenge, art and romance, this book took me to a sweet world, one of which I plan to keep being part of by reading the rest of the books in this series – soon, hopefully!
