I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy these Harlequin romance mangas. I love the illustrations. I love the stories and since the stories are from actual books, sometimes it even motivates me to go and read the book for more details. Love it.
Second chance at love, it's always a good theme for a romance novel.
The drawings are pretty, though the dramatic feel gets overthrown by the suddenly parodic gestures of the characters when they're surprised, embarrased or angry. I suppose that's typical of manga comics, but I don't appreciate the crashing effect of those funny faces in the middle of all the seriousness.
Apart from that, I enjoyed the story. Two broken hearts meet at a dreamy castle owned by this brooding, god-like handsome man who needs a physical therapist. During his healing, the couple forms a bond that leads to hearbreak as he's closed off his feelings after a tragedy. The misunderstandings and tears add dramatic entertainment that pairs up well with the sensual touches. I enjoyed the resolution of the conflict that shows both of them happy after solving their trust issues. Nice.
She's a physical therapist and he's her patient. She feels far too much and he doesn't feel at all. But in the end they're both the same.
This manga was great, but also little bit hasty. I'd appreciate the story far more with another 100 pages (you know, maybe more of "getting to know each other" and background). But I won't deny that there was a lot of funny moments. If you're looking for some relaxing read with pretty art, this is the one.
Diana arrives in Penryth Hall as a live-in physical therapist. She at first thinks that the owner of Penryth Hall is a middle-aged one and finds out in surprise that the owner is a young sexy stud named Edward. Things between them get a little bit spicy and they end up having each other’s companion in the pleasure department. Edward is also surprise finding out that Diana is still a virgin. I am not going to tell the rest of the story here as it is something that ones should read to know how this story can be a sweet romance wrapped in a beautiful manga.
My only remark is that it seems like the manga version misses some details. I understand completely because when one writes in novel, s/he can write longer but in manga, they tend to shorten things. Ah, still it is a sweet romance to read.
