The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever (Bevelstoke 1.) 7 csillagozás
2 March 1810 . . .
Today, I fell in love.
At the age of ten, Miranda Cheever showed no signs of Great Beauty. And even at ten, Miranda learned to accept the expectations society held for her—until the afternoon when Nigel Bevelstoke, the handsome and dashing Viscount Turner, solemnly kissed her hand and promised her that one day she would grow into herself, that one day she would be as beautiful as she already was smart. And even at ten, Miranda knew she would love him forever.
But the years that followed were as cruel to Turner as they were kind to Miranda. She is as intriguing as the viscount boldly predicted on that memorable day—while he is a lonely, bitter man, crushed by a devastating loss. But Miranda has never forgotten the truth she set down on paper all those years earlier—and she will not allow the love that is her destiny to slip lightly through her fingers . . .

Elmondhatatlan, hogy én mennyire imádom Julia Quinn könyveit. De tényleg. Nincs olyan regénye, amit ne szeretnék, ne akarnék a könyvespolcomon látni, és amit kihagynék az olvamánylistámról. Minden története, minden karaktere egyedi és imádnivaló. Garantált happy end, vérforraló jelenetek, pikírt megjegyzések, hatalmas veszekedések és még hatalmasabb kibékülések.
Imádom. Egyszerűen imádom.
Ahogy ezt a történetet is. Tökéletes az elejétől a végéig, a szereplői hús-vér emberek, akik hibáznak, de később igyekeznek a hibáikat jóvátenni. Igazi tündérmese, és bizonyítja azt, hogy ha tényleg, igazán akarsz valamit, ha tényleg, igazán kiállsz magadért, akkor eléred a céljaid. (Jó persze van egy kis álomvilág is benne, hiszen nem mindenkinek az első szerelme lesz az utolsó is, de attól még az üzenet egyértelmű: "küzdj, és bízva bízzál!") :)

„I'm trying to read.”
„I see that. Very good of you, you know. I like a female who broadens her mind.” He plucked the volume from her fingers and turned it over to read the title.
„Pride and Prejudice. Are you enjoying it?”
„I was.”
He ignored her barb as he flipped to the first page, holding her place with his index finger.
„'It is a truth universally acknowledged,'” he read aloud, „'that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.'”
Miranda tried to grab her book back, but he moved it out of her reach.
„Hmmm,” he mused. „An interesting thought. I certainly am in want of a wife.”
„Go to London,” she retorted. „You'll find lots of women there.”
„And I am in possession of a good fortune.” He leaned forward and grinned at her. „Just in case you didn't realize.”
„I cannot tell you how relieved I am in the knowledge that you will never starve.”

Oh, very well, do you want to know why I really think you should keep a journal?
She nodded.
Because someday you’re going to grow into yourself, and you will be as beautiful as you already are smart. And then you can look back into your diary and realize just how silly little girls like Fiona Bennet are. And you’ll laugh when you remember that your mother said your legs started at your shoulders. And maybe you’ll save a little smile for me when you remember the nice chat we had today.

Then there was the loss of his innocence. It was difficult to recall now, but he had once given mankind the benefit of the doubt. He had, on the whole, believed the best of people—that if he treated others with honor and respect, they would do the same unto him.
