PDF Seeking persephone lore

When Persephone Lancaster receives a marriage proposal from the ill tempered Duke of Kielder she refuses and then reconsiders The obscene sum of money he s offering Persephone would save her family from ruin With her characteristic optimism she travels to the far reaches of Northumberland to wed a greatly feared stranger Lodged deep in a thick forest infested with wild dogs the Duke s castle is as cold and forbidding as the Duke himself a man with terrible scars on his body and his soul But the Duke s steely determination to protect his heart at all costs is challenged by his growing attachment to his lovely and gentle bride With caring persistence Persephone attempts to pierce the Duke s armor and reach the man beneath Yet he cannot tolerate such exposure and his repeated rejections take their toll But when grave danger arises the Duke realizes he must face the risk of revealing his true feelings or lose the woman he cannot live without A regency romance novel you won t want to put down Seeking Persephone The Lancaster Family 1 When I saw a friend had reviewed this the other day it of course got me thinking about it again and so I thought I d just pick it up and read a bit and of course got sucked in and ended up reading the whole thing This is one of my favorite regencies I ve read it quite a few times I realized when I went to review it that I had actually read it the past couple summers always in June this seems to be a summer favorite of mine I ll of course have to pick up Courting Miss Lancaster because they just have to be read together I can t wait for books in the Lancaster series I can t wait for Persephone s siblings to each have their own books The story was great had a marriage of convenience storyline which I m always a sucker for It was a bit like Beauty and the Beast but also the Greek myth of Persephone and Hedes was mixed in I really liked our main characters Adam and Persephone They don t meet until the day of their wedding and they couldn t be opposite Persephone comes from a big loving family is used to being social and running her family household from a young age Adam is an only child being born without an ear and enduring pointless surgery s leaving him scared he has built up strong tall walls around his heart While Persephone loves people and social gatherings Adam despises them he d rather enjoy his quiet routine Persephone really wants to get to know her husband and has hope that maybe one day theirs will be a love match Adam didn t want a beautiful wife and is upset when he sees how pretty his new wife is only reminding him of his own physical imperfections deciding to keep his distance They have good interactions together and it was fun to watch their story unfold I like that they grew to love each other slowly and accepted each other for who they were To me it felt like they really fell in love They had good chemistry I especially loved Adam s best friend Harry He is really light hearted and totally loyal to Adam even though Adam is kind of mean to him I guess Harry has known him for so long he sees Adam s sarcasm for what it is I also liked how Persephone and Harry became friends as well There is also some excitement and touch of mystery in the series While what happens to Persephone is upsetting it was a great way for Adam to come out of his shell and really care for her Those scenes are some of my favorite Overall I just really enjoy this one I love the gothic like castle and secluded setting The characters are fun and well developed One I would easily recommend to any regency fan ContentRomance Squeaky clean kissingLanguage NoneViolence Mild a planned attack on Persephone she is injured Mild fight scene Religious NoneSeries Book one but each book can standaloneSimilar Books You May Enjoy Historical Fiction Romance AY SANTA CACHUCHA QUE ESTO VA DE LOBOS Bueno de lobos y de algo m s y ese algo m s es una pasada Pero empecemos por el principio que me conozco y me pierdo solita A qui n no le apetece leer un retelling de La bella y la Bestia ambientado en la regencia Vamos a m much simo y si adem s le a adimos un duque arrisco una mansi n oscura y silenciosa un bosque tenebroso y una Bella incre ble pues ya tenemos montado el sarao del siglo. Book Seeking persephone symbol Y qu sarao De esos que te calientan el coraz n mientras los lees de los que te dibujan una sonrisa en los labios y te hacen suspirar y re r Es m s si esto es una muestra de lo que nos espera en el siguiente libro de esta bilog a pa ma ana es tarde Y es que estoy deseando leer m s historias de esta autora Historical Fiction Romance spoiler free mainly no big suspense give aways Wonderfully written Beauty and the Beast Regency Romance set in 1805 in Northumberland near the Scottish border Despite the clean factor Eden manages to engender sexual tension imbuing her characters with emotional depth This is not a Christian romance despite the publisher No mention of scriptures and Eden does not evangelize The POV shifts from Adam to Persephone Internal musings are limited to brief digressions so it does not hinder the flow of the story Eden writes flowing dialogue peppered with humor and angst creating a mounting sense of emotional urgency I the lonely hero Adam Boyce Duke of Kielder aka The Dangerous Duke and by the end of book 2 I was swooning for him He hides his tender and intensely loyal heart behind a biting sarcasm and a deadly reputation His birth defect resulted in numerous bumbled surgeries leaving the right side of his face a mess Knowing that his son s ear less and cross hatched face would incite cruelty in the kids at Harrow and all through life the old Duke taught young Adam how to fight dirty When Adam went to Harrow at age 7 he immediately slew every Goliath He did the same at Oxford and at The House of Lords When the story begins Adam is giving his spineless heir presumptive cousin the boot and deciding to marry ASAP to beget an heir He tells his man of affairs to find him a poor and plain Jane of gentle birth for Adam severely disliked beautiful people But his solicitor arranges the marriage sight unseen so Adam finds himself at the altar with Persephone Lancaster a baron s impoverished granddaughter eldest of six kids and fairly pretty but not beautiful For the sum of 110000 pounds plenty to feed her hungry family Persephone marries her Hades and what a cold austere grumpy grouch he is Heartless at least for a while Yet funny too grumbling under his breath at the wedding service when he realizes she s not homely mocking her mythologically based name so she cheekily mocks his horses names Atlas and Zeus But there are reasons for his distance He s been hurt badly by the one who should have loved him most his mother I didn t buy his mother s sob story not fully Eden let this useless excuse for a parent off too easily Gradually Adam learns to trust and respect Persephone Without realizing that he is in love he finally allows her to her see his face fully not just the good side Eden vividly portrays his insecurity about his scars and his gradual trust Adam starts plotting ways to make her want to stay at his immense castle in bleak Northumberland far from her beloved family And Persephone It takes time but she learns to love him by ignoring his contradicting words and demeanor and attending instead to his actions Persephone slowly wins him over with her courage he despises cowards companionship and intelligence Best scenes The whole book Ok not quite I could not believe what an emotionally gripping tale this unknown Eden has penned This sometimes sad and angsty tale is lightened by snarky humor often provided by the immensely charming Harry Windover Adam s friend the hero of book 2 The story suddenly darkens when death occurs bringing grieving and loss It drastically changes tempo and tension when Adam in a superior bit of daring do saves Persephone And always the author portrays Adam confused striving to stay apart but yearning The bedtime scenes The scene when Adam played doctor Could it get any sweeter The ending is totally delicious Perfect Flaws Ummhow we gonna beget that heir Get to it Get naked And the villain Seemed like an extreme action to take but not beyond credulity I wanted just a little physical expression of love Also the e book price is questionably high since printing shipping and warehousing costs are eliminated 10. Book Seeking persephone winter 18 Plus Adam plays a fairly big role in the sequel See my review FOOTNOTE At her website Eden provides a rebuttal to criticism that some aspects do not align with English history rules of succession and the flora and fauna of Regency era Northumberland I dunno but her defense sounded reasonable to me I m just glad to know Eden takes her readers seriously enough to TRY to get it right Historical Fiction Romance I so love the beauty and the beast trope And this book has all its fundamentals right admixing in the Persephone Hades tale as well have to be the original beauty and the beast It s sweet charming leisurely and too clean The h is a sweet biddable girl doing her duty to her family by marrying sight unseen a man who seems quite perfect on paper A wealthy duke not even thirty yet. Book Seeking persephone lore The H is a grumpy loner a physically and emotionally scarred person who doesn t believe that any woman would willingly marry him or then stay on So he asks his secretary to buy a poor and plain spinster with a dependent family Poor she is plain not so much Spinster she thinks she is will be because of her dismal prospects but at 20 isn t it a tad premature His doubts and mistrust only grow as he expects her to bolt just like his mother had done when he was a little boy deserting her husband and her son So he resides within emotional and physical walls of his heart and his castle yes he has one in Northumberland Very Beast y All rolls on well and good and some very endearing moments butThe H bff bromance wore on my nerves The bff is oh so loyal that he refuses to leave the H s side even on the h H honeymoon I disliked this infringement with a fervor And his silly unfunny prattling made my teeth ache He s used for fillers very skim able fillers If you re trying to tell me to make myself scarce now that you re married I completely understand Adam Do you Really He s the H of the next book a book I ve decided now to not read The h H were much intersting during his rare absences Left to their own non verbose devices the h H patch up an understanding of sorts with sweet hesitant hers and gruff his gestures. Seeking persephoneia Would today be a friendly Adam day or a grumpy Adam day It was almost impossible to predict Historical Fiction Romance Rese a completa un no No me ha gustado ni el estilo ni la historia ni los personajes No voy a juzgar la calidad o no de la autora que para eso hay gente m s cualificada que yo simplemente es una novela que no es para m Me ha parecido aburrida sin construcci n de personajes la historia es una adaptaci n de una que ya conocemos y hemos le do muchas veces pero sin ning n tipo de chispaMe ha costado much simo terminarla porque pr cticamente no pasa nada y cada uno por su lado no deja de darle vueltas al mismo tema y no hay interrelaci n rom ntica entre ellosUn gran chasco Me sabe muy mal porque lo he empezado con muchas ganas pero no a todas nos puede gustar lo mismo Historical Fiction Romance

3. Seeking Persephone kindle Hay un momento que se pierde el Duque en sus pensamientosen su manera de ver las cosassus dudas y se me ha venido un poco abajo y de pronto llega un final muy muy muy precipitado La parte inicial iba para un cuatro pero el final ha sido muy precipitado y y algo m s de desarrollo le hubiera sumadoMe parece que en junio viene la historia de Harry en castellano va a ser un personaje muy interesante aqu ha dado mucho juego Los di logos son buen simos Historical Fiction Romance 4. Book Seeking persephone goddess 75 stars pg mild pg13Love this story Love Adam the Duke of Kielder and Harry his best and only friend The two of them are hysterical together I enjoyed book two which is Harry s story but truly I liked Harry even in this book Love this author I rarely re read books Sarah Eden s books are one of the exceptions along with Georgette Heyer I will gladly re read hers for years to come So far I ve read this one twice and loved it just as much both times Another reviewer listed a great link in her review to Sarah Eden s website where she addresses some of the historical research she did for this book I m not very good with this but I ll try to include a link as well since it s quite interesting Historical Fiction Romance Seeking Persephone was entertaining and quick I read through it in one day and enjoyed it If you are looking for a cute love story that is clean fun and short this a good pick If you are looking for something look elsewhere There are two reasons I didn t rate it higher First I didn t enjoy it as much as other books I ve read Frankly I thought the main character Adam was annoying His character was defined by exactly one characteristic and emotion Later in the book he kind of develops a second one but even then he s a really weak character And I kept wishing that Persephone and Adam wouldn t work out so she could end up marrying Harry. PDF Seeking persephone goddess 2 The second issue made glaring in comparison with Pride and Prejudice which I recently read is that I don t feel like the author was true to human nature When you read a great book you walk away having learned something about human nature It teaches you something about yourself It s inspiring and enlightening I don t expect that of every book I read but there were a few moments in Seeking Persephone where I was pulled completely out of the story by the thought no one is really like this No one actually thinks this way I didn t chose to read this book for it s insight into the soul but occasionally it was so contrary to what I understand of human nature that it was distracting I m not talking about sappy love The major character flaws that are the main conflict of the book are not solved so much as superseded by convenient external emergencies Thank the wolf dog pack the marriage worked out at all. EBook Seeking persephone bakery I don t want to belabor this as I think the author s purpose was to write a casual cute love story She nailed that I just think it could have been much Historical Fiction Romance Adam was born with his right ear missing Several surgeons believed that his ear was just under the surface and with surgery they could dig it out of hiding Several unsuccessful surgeries later his parents finally gave up hope that the ear would ever make an appearance But all this left Adam even disfigured and scarred both physically and emotionally Feeling rejected by his mother dealing with his father s untimely death and then being shipped off to school was just too much for little 7 year old Adam He became cross and grumpy Everyone feared and coward away from him He never felt accepted or loved and did everything he could to hide his feelings from the world When he discovers who the heir presumptive to his fortune is he will do anything to make sure the idiot never inherits his title Even if it s paying for a desperate bride whose family is in need of financial security At the age of 12 Persephone s mother passed away giving birth to her youngest sister From that moment on she could not longer be a child she had to grow up and take care of several responsibilities She was the mother the cook the maid the bookkeeper you name it and she did it She was the glue that kept her family together So when a letter arrived with a marriage proposal that would give her family the financial security they had always longed for she was torn on what to do She did not like the fact that she was being purchased and really wanted to turn it down But as always she put her family first and accepted the proposal. Seeking persephoneia model Adam and Persephone s marriage got off to a pretty rocky start But with help from Adam s life long friend Harry Persephone will get some of the insight she needs to understand and connect with her husband She knows there is something in his past that has caused him to shut himself off from the world The she tries to figure out what it is the she grows to care for her husband But will he ever return her feelings Or will he just keep rejecting her When tragedy strikes Falstone Castle Adam is forced to open his eyes and see what s right in front of him Will he choose to continue to keep the world at bay Or will he open up and learn to not only live but love as well. Book Seeking persephone goddess I absolutely adored Seeking Persephone Even though I had read it once before years ago I was still sucked in from the very beginning and did not want to stop until I had finished it I was very upset that real life got in the way of my reading time I enjoyed getting to know Adam Persephone and Harry all over again I found myself laughing at the witty banter getting teary eyed during the sad parts growling in frustration and letting out little sighs throughout the book My only complaint was the ending felt a bit rushed I would have loved a little less of the misunderstanding lack of communication and of them together as a real couple Other than that I LOVED it Definitely a must read if you are a fan of Beauty and the Beast or Regency I do have to admit that the casting for this one was a bit hard for me But I love it Historical Fiction Romance.
