rating personal
is a regular novel, has a story and a plot that promised much but could not take advantage. The initial story is beautiful, a man haunted by an old love and a woman haunted by the ghosts of the past.
The fights between the characters are fun (but exhausted the patience) throughout the novel there are no words of love if not by mutual contempt, both are in love with each other since and last but not able to open your heart. There are loves
side but not given much importance in the novel, we also found a secondary (Margot's former lover and best friend is) a mystery and Robin as described and very smart and brave handsome.
I loved the character of Margot, presents us with a tanned and intelligent woman who is tired of life as a spy.
The male character is the typical aristocrat, sensible, cool, friendly, libertine, never loses control ... until he meets Margot.
In the final pages with all the romance was not in the beginning and it made me sappy and cloying.
Global Note: 6
