My Rating ~ 2 bites and a nibble
Helena Winsome is being
blackmailed into spying on the Duke of Greybrooke in order to keep her brother
out of debtor’s prison. She has to find proof that he’s a traitor and her
brother’s debts will be paid.
I have mixed feelings
about this. While the writing is awesome and the characters are great, I think
Helena is a bit of a moron. Who lets themselves be coerced into a situation and
does zero research? I know I would have done some digging before I let myself
be pushed into something. Her family owns a newspaper for fuck’s sake! And her
brother? Omg, I would have killed him. Ok, I know this is historical and he’s
technically head of the house, but I’d still kick his ass. Period. Also, she’s
gutsy and intelligent and lets herself be led around by her pussy. Ugh. Stop.
I don’t particularly
like the Duke of Greybrooke either. Guys who think they can get whatever they
want because that’s always been so for them piss me off. Arrogance without
redemption is a huge turn off for me and I don’t think he changes enough over
the course of the book to get in my good Graces. Hehe See what I did there?
Oh no! I am sorry to hear you didn't have a great time with this one. I can understand your frustration with Helena and her brother. I think I would be too.
