To many subplots and too many counter plots. I got tired of it to the point where I found myself not caring about the main couple.
*Received a copy for review.*
This book had a little bit of everything and I loved it all. A Widowed Duke who the ton gossips may have killed his wife. A “blue stocking” secret author who wants to open her own school for young ladies to study all the things. She also has no use for a husband.
Artemis & Dominic suit one another so we’ll. I loved their conversations and their secret plans to convince everyone that she has been debauched. They can both benefit from this arrangement.
The book moves quickly and it is such an easy read.
I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

How to write this without giving nothing away. Well let’s see it’s kind of insta lust/love. The duke wants her from the first touch of their hands. However, Artemis isn’t having that. She wants her freedom and all that comes along with it. I really like how she grew as a person and so did Dominic.
Now for the not so good part. The narrator made Artemis sound really hound. Like teenage young. This was a little bothersome as she did other mature voices. That’s the only bad part for me.
4.5 stars

Based on the title and cover I really expected this book to be different – spicier, entertaining, witty.
It was the complete opposite. For me, it was quite dull.
The plot about him murdering his wife was not developed.
The plot of his daughter not liking Artemis was not developed.
I can’t write a lot of these examples because I’ve read this book months ago but the fact that I barely remember this book and that I gave it 2.5 stars tells a lot.
Really disappointed.

I have mixed feelings about this book. There were several things that I really liked, but a few that bugged me.
I really enjoyed the main characters, especially Artemis, and the banter, as well as the family bonds. In fact, I wish we'd gotten more of this. I liked the aspect of the FMC, Artemis, being a secret writer and her aspirations of opening a women's college; I also wish we'd gotten more of this, especially involving her plans or maybe even gotten to see her in action. I liked how much of a role Artemis' books played in the story. I really liked the respect Artemis and Dominic had for each other, and the way Dominic encouraged her dreams; I also really liked that there was no third-act misunderstanding-fueled breakup; Dominic could easily have made a huge deal over discovering Artemis' secret, and he handled it with maturity. I really appreciated that.
However, I wasn't such a big fan of the writing style in some places - it felt overwrought and overwritten (which was maybe intended to go with the time period in which the book was set but it occasionally felt over the top and pulled me out of the story. A few times, I caught myself rolling my eyes. But then, I've never been the biggest fan of Gothic romances, so maybe it just goes with the territory.) I also wasn't a big fan of how the story occasionally dipped into almost soap opera territory (or just over the top plot twists) but again, maybe that just goes with the territory of a Gothic romance and I'm merely judging the book for following expected tropes. Another thing that bugged me a bit was the pace at which Dominic and Artemis' relationship moved - the "I love you"s seemed to come too soon, especially considering Artemis seemed to think she was holding out on him. Maybe this is simply because we're not given a clear timeline? And lastly, the villains seem so one-dimensional, especially the male villain. He's bad because... he's bad?
Overall, I did enjoy this book - the positives outweighed the negatives - and I plan to continue with the series... Eventually.
