“What about adored? Would you care to be adored? (.) What do you yearn for, Samantha? Isn’t there something you want so badly that it makes you ache? “I have no need or desire to be admired.”

“Have I ever told you how very much I admire you, Miss Wickersham?” Still, if you enjoy romantic stories with beautiful writing and don’t mind a bit of drama in the end, I recommend giving it a try. I think I might have been happier with the cliché ending and without the twist, but I’m probably in the minority. The ending was bittersweet, especially because I can’t stand drama. He thought she was other person and he still did that. He was supposed to be madly in love with Samantha!!! WHAT THE HELL was he doing having sex with OW? I get they were the same, but he didn’t know that. You don’t forget the face of someone you love, and her voice was naked!!Ģ.He slept with her when he thought she was another woman. For Gabriel, Samatha’s voice was like her face. It was something I might have overlooked if he wasn’t blind, but blind people take more notice of their other senses than people who are not blind. I don’t understand how Gabriel didn’t recognize Samantha’s voice. ⛔SPOILER⛔ (GR app doesn't care about spoiler tags)ġ. Since both are at the very end I can’t explain them, so for those who have read the book: Since I was aware of it, I didn’t care as much - even though I still rolled my eyes when it happened.īut the other two were the reason I lowered the rating. One of them I saw coming because it is the typical cliché with this plot. However, I have three small problems with the plot. It was as if he were touching her everywhere at once without lifting a finger. But the look on his face as he filled his lungs with her scent made her feel like some scantily clad harem girl awaiting the sultan’s pleasure.

Samantha wouldn’t have thought the tart, clean fragrance of lemon verbena she’d dabbed behind her ears would be all that enticing to a man. I loved the way the author played with all the senses, making you feel the story: The characters were really well-written and the writing style was gorgeous. I enjoyed the first part of the story a lot: it was predictable, but sweet and romantic. Will she be able to make him understand there is something worth fighting for? At least, that were his thoughts until Samantha Wickersham, his new nurse, appeared. Isolated and bitter, with all his dreams turned into ashes, Gabriel no longer cares about anything, since he has lost everything. His family thinks he’s useless and his fiancée has left him. At first it seems the typical sweet cliché, but don’t let it misguide you: it has a twist in the end!Īfter losing his sight and his place as the golden boy of London’s high society, Gabriel is no longer the charming gentleman full of smiles. Yours Until Dawn is a beautifully-written historical romance, perfect for the most hopeless romantic souls.
