Bringing Down the Duke

Alright, so I'm going to shoot you straight: this was not great. It was actually a pretty bad book. First, it was more or less a rehash of Julia Quinn's third book in the Bridgerton series (peep my review of that last month for the scoop). I am not saying that the details were 100% the same, but the storylines were pretty similar (60%?). Also this book is wild in its descriptions. Like 50 shades crazy. And honestly its not that the content was bad its just that I expected a lot more from the author.

“I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.”

Evie, come on. I heard so much about this book from BOTM to forums, etc. and I guess I just expected more. I knew Julia Quinn's ‘An Offer from a Gentleman' was not going to have the best quality writing and yet it was somehow better than this. Yikes

There were just so many characters and so much going on I found myself searching for some plot between the large amount of intimate scenes and then I was lost because the story was all over the place. Needless to say, I probably wont be reading the sequel. 2.75 stars/5.
