super cute. ( )

A classic in my book. Clever, and beautifully written. It was so romantic. ( )

As these things go, kind of perfect? ( )

I don’t know why I am only just now getting around to this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the Duke. I will say having just reread These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer, I see the influence of the Duke of Avon in the Duke of Falconbridge. And it was lovely to see. The heroine did hold on to her love for the other man a bit too long but honestly the story took place in such a short period of time that it was pretty realistic that it would not be instant. ( )

I liked the beginning of it,the peculiar miss and the cynical duke was a good setup but then things went downhill.

The h kept on talking about a character thats heavily involved in the set-up of the plot,but shes never made out to be a real person or as the heroine claims one of her closest friend.And then theres the guy the heroine has a crush on...I couldnt quite figure out how she could have feelings(or how the reader could understand why) since from the beginning hes made out to be pretty bland and flat,with no character what so ever.

Then the book took a strange turn... I found the I love the May/December romances but things came awfully close to crossing over into icky,due to some conversation the H and h had after ..er...consumating their relationship.

So in all-an ok read,not good,not bad..it just is. Some books stay in your mind long after youve read a book,this is so generic Id mostly forgot it by the time I finished. ( )
