Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Lady Wombat says: Rosenthal is one of my new favorite historical romance authors. She seems to get low marks, star-wise, here and on Goodreads for being too difficult -- too many flashbacks, point of view switches, too much historical background, etc. But this is what draws me to her books, as well as her depiction of flawed but deeply human characters. The Slightest Provocation is the portrait of an estranged couple, and the reasons for their estrangement, as well as the ties that still bind them together, are depicted with nuance and believability. A book for intellectually-inclined romance readers. Although, I found this plot line intriguing, I found this book to be just so-so. Often it came across as somewhat scattered and dull. I had high hopes when I read the description of the story, but it faltered here and there. Still, it wasn't bad, just nothing great - needed more oomph! http://ktleyed.blogspot.com/2010/12/slightest-provocation-by-pam-rosenthal.html sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

This was my first romance by Pam Rosenthal and I really enjoyed it. Her writing is lovely and often very sexy. There were some passages where I had to reread to make sure I was following whose POV I was in, since we do some head-hopping. There are a few love stories being told along with our MCs (one that had me choking up at work!). I do think some of the political backdrop was a bit flimsy and at times confusing - but whatever I enjoyed myself. I am excited to explore her backlist! ( )
