Lady Charlotte Always Gets Her Man

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

2 stars. This just didn't work for me. I found it to be mostly bland and boring.

I expected this to be a fun and funny romp. It's not really. It's very dry and the story drags quite a bit. Everyone is burdened by serious issues. It's just not the kind of book I expected to get after reading the blurb. Not my historical romance cup of tea.

The writing is trying way too hard to seem historical, but it just ends up feeling clumsy. The historical element didn't make the most sense. There's no mystery around the villain of the story. All that was missing was for him to start twirling his moustache! There's also very little romance. They just occasionally think the other person is hot, but that's it. They have no chemistry. The trope of best friend's little sister, which is a favourite of mine, doesn't really deliver much!

Sadly, a miss for me. I just didn't care and wasn't having fun.
