This didn't absorb my attention and delight me as much as I'd like, but several times something would come up and I would assume that the secret would of course come out at the worst possible moment, or that the thing would be horribly misconstrued, etc. to fuel drama, and then it ended up resolving much more reasonably. So I appreciate that. Still loving the Wildes, and their wonderful, wacky adventures. This book centers on the quietest of the Wildes, a girl so shy that she throws up from nerves on social occasions. Such a good new family comes with the love interest, and I'm excited to see if more comes from that connection. Advanced Reader's Copy provided by Edelweiss. Another deliciously fluffy book from the land of Lindow Castle. I wish I hadn't read the back cover copy of this book though as it's quite spoilery as it took half the book and more to come to pass. So I wasted a lot of time waiting for the items listed on the back cover to happen, which took a lot of fun out of it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Say Yes to the Duke was a fun read and much needed laugh in such trying times.
Viola has an affinity for hiding based off a past humiliation and her fear that she doesn’t feel like a true Wilde as she is a stepdaughter of the Duke of Lindow. None of her family feel that way however. She is constantly reminded by her stepsister Joan of what a Wilde child she truly is. I simply adore their relationship. Where Joan is talkative and loves the spotlight, Viola is timid and shy. Their relationship is special, and you can see how much they love each other.
This was also a funny story in that Devin, Duke of Wynter is a mathematician who is unused to having a real challenge in anything he wants. What makes it so hilarious is that his competition is so unlike him and he tries his hardest to prove he is a worthy suitor. He even mentions that the Vicar is so...pretty, and he is not. The vicar is so virtuous, and he is...not, but he will try for Viola and that is sweet.
It is mentioned in the book that no one forgets a Wilde, and that includes Viola. Viola is not a mouse and is stubborn and I like that about her. Just when you think the story is going to have angst it is not drawn out and I appreciate that. Overall, Viola and Devin are just so right for each other and the side characters are just as fun.
I can’t wait to read more about the Wildes.
