Descrizione
Princezná Ariadne je znechutená londýnskou pokryteckou morálkou a túži po nezávislosti. Neverí, že stretne pravú lásku, a tak si namiesto manžela začne hľadať milenca – aj za cenu, že si tým zničí povesť.
Keď sa o jej pláne dozvie princ regent Rupert Whyte, v snahe uchrániť princeznú pred škandálom sľúbi, že do tajov telesnej rozkoše ju zasvätí on sám. Zakázané dobrodružstvo plné vášne – to je presne to, o čom Ariadne snívala. Nebude však cena, ktorú zaň zaplatí, privysoká?

This was the last book in The Princess Bride series. And I was looking forward to reading Ariadne's story. She is the most headstrong, and confident of the three friends. She's clever and quick-witted.I was, however, disappointed to find that in her story, she's become naive. All that cleverness didn't leave room for common sense, unfortunately. Rupert is a future King, and as such, orders people around and gets his way...always. And so, this turned into a "My body betrayed me" trope. Which, if you know me...I despise above almost any other trope. It started off well enough until Ariadne decided to put her slipper-clad foot down. Rupert simply refuses to understand that no, means no, and she immediately folds like soggy tissue. Gross. it is rather unfortunate because the first 2/3rds of the book was quite fun. But then Rupert lies by omission to trap Ariadne into marriage. She refuses, many times, but Rupert carries on like she's a silly little woman with silly little brains, who doesn't understand what's good for her.... Disgusting. I was angry. I don't rate it lower because it was very well written, and as I said before, was quite fun for the most part. Didn't much care for the ending, it was pretty rushed and Rupert didn't grovel half as much as I thought he needed to.
