The Duke Buys a Bride

3/5

Honestly? It was boring. One bed after one bed after one bed and zero intimacy for the first 60%!! Unacceptable!

No, but really, it was boring. They almost didn't talk, Marcus's family struggles weren't resolved at the end and I really hoped for him at least BUYING HER WARM CLOTHES. And there was nothing. He even acknowledged that her shoes were destroyed while he was at his brother's house but did he buy her new ones? No, why would he!

Even the “Because you're my wife” scene was anticlimactic. For the whole book he claimed she was nothing to him but suddenly she's his wife when one man took her? And then he turned around and set her free when another showed up? I wanted to punch him.

The sex scenes were hot though.

It had an interesting premise and I finished it. However.... I felt that this book had some drawbacks - For example, I never got enough backstory on her childhood friend who abandoned her but showed up for the last bit of the book. And why oh why did she ride that mule throughout the book....?

I would try another book by this author but we will see after that ....
