Eesh, the first half was weak for me, but then large portions of the last half actually became tedious to get through! The heroine was quite daft, more than just being inexperienced or naive. Lots of stuff just seemed off, I think it lacked a sense of believability. Not really one huge absurd thing, but just tons of small things that made me want to raise an eyebrow, like '...really?...'. Also, it didn't have significantly more sex or particularly graphic sex, but the story seemed to revolve around it in a weird way anyway. Like someone kept telling the author 'yeah, yeah, yeah, get to the good part!'. Another story could have twice the sex but if it were interwoven seamlessly with some substance it wouldn't feel nearly as tawdry! This felt very much like fan fiction actually. I did like the scene of their first kisses though. ( ) I loved reading about these two independent virgins discovering that emotions can't be controlled & love will find a way to conquer all. There is a lot of head butting as these two learn to live with each other. Poor Isidore is sick & tired of waiting for her husband to come home. They have been married for years and they have never met. She wants to be really MARRIED & start a family so badly she doesn't care if he is damaged, ugly, fat, or lost a limb.....she is just sick of living in limbo. So she tricks him into coming home by going to a wild house party. Simeon expects a demure little housewife but gets a sexy independent wife instead & is not sure how to handle her. She challenges his emotions & thinking and he doesn't like it.....but can't stop thinking about her. He decides to annul their marriage but Isidore has other plans for them. Loved this one!!! Oh, Simeon. Simeon, Simeon, Simeon. I'll write up my full review soon and link it here when I do. Side note: I was seriously determined to get caught up on the read along but now I'm not so sure I will...I am SO looking forward to Jemma and Elijah's story next (like SOOOO looking forward to it) but am getting a little burnt out on the series... Since I read Duchess by night I knew I would want to read Isidore's story. I liked her so much in the last book, and I like Cosway a lot... he was hot. I just hope the book will be as good as I anticipated. I'm reading this book now; there are some parts that were hilarious. I will edit my review when I'm done. There were parts of this book which I liked quite a bit, and parts which I disliked immensely. Overall, it balances out to average, and worked well as a palate cleanser after The Book Thief's emotional train wreck. My favorite parts were those about the protagonist's friend's marriage, which is apparently explored more in a sequel -- I'll keep an eye out for that one. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
The Duchess of Cosway yearns for a man she has never met . . . her husband. Married by proxy as a child, Lady Isidore has spent years fending off lecherous men in every European court while waiting to meet her husband. She's determined to accept him, no matter how unattractive the duke turns out to be. When she finally lures Simeon Jermyn back to London, his dark handsomeness puts Isidore's worst fears to rest-until disaster strikes. The duke demands an annulment. Forsaking his adventuresome past, Simeon has returned to London ready to embrace the life of a proper duke, only to find that his supposed wife is too ravishing, too headstrong, and too sensual to be the docile duchess he has in mind. But Isidore will not give up her claim to the title-or him-without a fight. She will do whatever it takes to capture Simeon's heart, even if it means sacrificing her virtue. After all, a consummated marriage cannot be annulled. Yet in forcing Simeon into a delicious surrender, will Isidore risk not only her dignity-but her heart?
