What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Devil is the * son of a powerful and cruel duke who gathered his 3 * sons together when they were boys. Devil is prepared to do whatever it takes to keep marwick from breaking it.
The historical details are interesting, but never detract from the love story. This story is never boring and quite unpredictable. The women in historical romances are almost always my favorites.
Nobody pulls off a match in the truest sense of the term the way maclean does. A good solid storyteller who doesn’t disappoint, maclean leads off her newest series with a complicated backstory of greed, *, and disappointment.
There is drama, thick, muddy drama that is never angsty. And everyone is super dramatic and *. As are the two characters who believe themselves to be in league but who find their goals and desires shifting beneath their feet.
Cons
It pains me to write this review (sarah maclean used to be one of my favorite authors) and yet i feel obligated to inform the romance community not to buy this book.
I generally like maclean and enjoyed some of her other books, but this was quite a let-down.
