Having never read Eloise James before ( I know, she’s like a classic of the romance genre) but this is my first novel by her.
SadlyIt just slightly bored me, I wasn't captured by the writing nor the characters.I didn’t quite understand why Willa was so captivating- yes she was unfazed by events but she wasn’t overly kind or likeable. Alaric liking her was unusual.
The bogs. The Georgian history tour very much liked but the characters so-so. I do think Diana and Norths story intrigued me and I will read it along with Lavernia and Perth’s ( enemies to lover?) perhaps even Katie’s story but a lacklustre beginning.
Wilde in love - around 3 stars

What a delight!! I could fall in love with Alaric Wilde! And despite the fact that Sweetpea is a skunk, she sounds adorable.
lighthearted
fast-paced
I’m not going to lie, I bought this book for two reasons: 1. I’ve never read an Eloise James book and everyone was raving about her so I had to read at least one of her books. (Spoiler alert- I loved this book so much I must now read everything she’s every written)
2. It has a Stepback and I was mesmerized and had to have it!
I’m so, so, so glad I read this book. I’m definitely Wilde in Love with the Wilde family. This book was so good! It had everything I wanted, a little “fake dating”, a main man who falls first, supporting characters that I couldn’t get enough of, a very odd gift and so much drama! That drama snuck up on me too, I mean I knew something was going to happen with the bog but wow!
I now regret not buying the whole series when I saw it. I’ll be on the search for Too Wilde To Wed with Stepback! Is North going to make it back? What is up with Diana? What the actual hell is happening with them? Also, Lavinia and Parth are everything and if I weren’t a stickler for going in order I’d rush to read their story next!

Being boring is way worse than being bad and this was just unspeakably dull. I liked Willa a lot in theory and I tolerated Alaric in theory but in execution..... snoozefest.
Eloisa James afasta-se um bocadinho dos romances históricos baseados em contos infantis para começar esta nova série de romances históricos mas com uma base mais original. Contudo, como é muito comum neste tipo de livros, a protagonista é muito diferente do que aquilo que a sociedade dita e há-de sempre escapar a algumas das suas conveniências. O protagonista há-de ser sempre aquele alguém bastante jeitoso e inconveniente e por quem todas as mulheres na idade casadoira se apaixonam, mas só se irá concentrar naquela única que não segue o fervor da multidão. (Impressionante como este resumo pode aplicar-se a tanto livro) Ainda assim, foi um livro bom para ler, para desanuviar com uma leitura leve. Para incentivar mais um pouco, a escritora deixou o final em suspense, cujas perguntas deverão ser respondidas no próximo livro. Perspicaz, sem dúvida.
