nday's review against another edition

This was a novella from the Dukes Behaving Badly series, of which I’ve read the first book so far, so while I don’t normally go out of my way to read these little inbetween books, I was in the mood so I went ahead and continued my deep dive into this series.
I can see why Annabelle was “relegated” as such to just a novella – she must have been a challenging heroine to write. She was definitely a challenging heroine to read, even though I thought MF did a great job on not making her come across as a complete nitwit, which she very easily could have done.
As I’m starting to see with MF, her hero was of much better quality, and I enjoyed Matthew a lot. I actually thought there was good chemistry between the characters, and I don’t feel the book was hampered by the shorter length. It was enjoyable, but I did struggle with the heroine a lot.

A short and very funny novella - highly unbelievable but in the best possible way, if that makes any sense. It was a quick and enjoyable read - probably would have been annoyed were it longer but as it was, perfect.

Such a fun read! I picked this up on sale, promptly forgot about it, and then "discovered" it while looking for something on my Kindle to read when I finished my book and didn't have wi-fi. I'm so glad I did!
Annabelle was just a delight--from her housekeeping "tips" to what went on in her head to what came out of her mouth--OMG, I giggled so much while reading this book. And the way she was the perfect foil for bringing Matthew out of his head? So. Fabulous.
My only complaints? 1) I wish it were longer and 2) that I hadn't read this one sooner!
But on the plus side, there are still a few of the books in this series I haven't read yet, which this reminded me of, so--time to get reading, obvs!
Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A
