4 Stars. Given the genre we knew how this would end, but heaven help me, I had no idea how it would get there. Cute and entertaining, but lord did these characters constantly get in their own way. Almost too much, but that’s the Pride and Prejudice, Beatrice and Benedick scenario for you. Will definitely continue with the series, and hope they’re mentioned even if they aren’t the main characters, because I’m so curious to see how Annabelle and Sebastian will weather the scandal.

I will try to go back and read this when I have more time. It isn't bad, but I'm not in the headspace to read it right now.

Books this lightweight ought to have a paperweight place atop them so that they don't float up to the ceiling. On a difficult day, this was a good-enough distraction. Lots of romance readers thought it was fabulous; I'm not a romance reader, so that I think it's a good distraction should garner some points for it.

Really good book! I really liked Sebastian and Annabelle, but I wish we could’ve seen a little more of Sebastian’s decision in the end and Lady Lingham’s comeuppance! Annabelle was a good character, but I felt at times her decision at 17 was not explained well and could have easily been something else to make her feel towards men that way. It felt a little soap opera-y to me and little details were randomly added when the tell all came that were not necessary!
In general though, I liked this retelling of sorts of Pride and Prejudice and would’ve been content if Annabelle had just wanted to go to school and Sebastian was just a duke on a mission to regain his family diginity
