Say No to the Duke

Both main characters felt underdeveloped to me - I didn't get as much of a sense of Betsy as a secret rebel under a proper society lady, and the whole fear about her mother's reputation affecting her didn't seem like it ever came to much of anything. And as far as Jeremy, I didn't like how all the bad things that happened to him were the fault of his evil cousin. I thought his PTSD was well-done, and I thought it would have been more interesting to have him actually have suffered from effects of that instead of it all being the cousin trying to steal the title. I wanted more of the development of their relationship, and maybe of Thaddeus being a serious rival instead of just this pleasant guy who was hanging around. This is probably 2.5 stars, rounding up, and I think I need a bit of a break from historical romances at the moment.
