The Duke and the Wallflower | Jessie Clever
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Shunned by a society that puts attractiveness above all else, Lady Eliza Darby’s wallflower status keeps her from getting the one thing she wants most, namely, to be a mother. But when her scorned older sister returns home to see all of her sisters wed in happy matches, it may be Eliza’s only chance to secure a husband and have the children she so desires. Jilted in a publicly humiliating display, Dax Kane, the Duke of Ashbourne, has sworn off love forever and has no wish to wed. But when the title demands it, he selects the most perfect candidate for the position: Lady Eliza Darby, a wallflower so unattractive he won’t be in danger of falling in love with her. But the Jilted Duke will soon discover looks have nothing to do with love.

Good setting, decent characters, poor execution. First of all, I prefer my spinster/wallflower romances to have a much more strongly developed slow-burn than this. Second, the writing was quite cheesy, & not in an enjoyable way. That, coupled with the completely contrived farce that was the last quarter of this book made me actually cringe several times by the last page. There are DEFINITELY better spinster/wallflower romances out there. ★★☆☆☆.

annahenke Sounds disappointing! 3y
