This is the young widdow/remarriage/he fell first/ forbidden love book plots
The tension and pining on Michael’s part is good, but how many times are they going to be stuck in the rain? Or rained on? Or in the middle of a rain storm?
I hated how this book messed with the timelines. With it happening while 2 of the other books are happening made it real confusing.
The book is the most like a standalone. But in place of the bridgerton family you got John, but you don’t get to actually get to know him and why he was so great… you only get the guilt associated with him.
I liked Francesca, but I have a soft spot for typical middle children… and she definitely is one. She is barely mentioned in the other books, hardly any of her first love story is talked about while it’s happening.
Michael is delicious, but has the Julia Quinn typical man temper.
All this to say, I still really liked the book!

Odié profundamente un detalle particular, y es la cantidad de chistes sobre violación que hace Michael. No me sorprende considerando los antecedentes de Quinn, pero el hecho de que se hubiera tomado el tiempo de marcarlo como un hombre que sabe lo que es el consentimiento para luego hacer esas bromas (sobretodo en relación a la libertad sexual entre él y Frannie) se me hizo pesadísima. No son muchas, pero definitivamente le bajan una estrella al libro.
