Ehhhhh it's another Regency novel. Only this time the wedding happens in the middle. That was interesting.

Ehh...
Cute. But too much stupidity and angst. I didn’t like how the duke came to realize his feelings. Also, I found myself skimming the descriptions in the book a lot. The story overall wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either.

Okay his was a sweet one (sweet in relationship. There’s still a little spice). Good length. Good characters. At times, the dialogue was a bit corny, but it was still cute.

Where was the conflict? H swears he’ll never marry again but immediately seems fine with have to marry the h - he is described as angry or enraged but then the dialogue makes him sound totally fine. There are plenty of opportunities for some angst or miscommunication, but the author doesn’t take them. I’ve read a couple others by this author and didn’t mind them, but this one is a hard pass.

Technically this premise is a list of my favorite tropes and the author is signaling my (modern) values (good) but I still need my exposition to show and not tell (bad). I want my historical characters to be revisionist avant-garde, but I want to spend some time on their motivations so I can suspend my disbelief. Maybe I’ll try again, I think this just sounded so perfect to my taste that my expectations got away from me.
