My Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
Normally I love Eloisa James and couldn't wait to read this ARC. While this one didn't knock it out of the park for me, it still has much to recommend it. As bog-standard historical romances go, it was exactly what genre lovers are looking for. What starts as a marriage of convenience/a business arrangement leads to emotional hijinks and a HEA. The main characters themselves were only OK, but the chemistry felt real and the classic "miscommunications" are believable and resolved with no one having to act wildly out of character. What really makes this book shine is the twins who are central to our hero's involvement with his reluctant heroine. They are hilarious and precocious while playing off the other oddball characters in the series fantastically. I am looking forward to seeing more in the series and, as always, cant wait to read more from Eloisa James.
