This was definitely insta-love and I didn’t really feel a big connection between the two love interests, mostly just a night of hot sex and moving on with our lives. Then you find out that Elliot or Hunt is the intended husband for, Leela or Lady Devon’s stepdaughter, Tori.
The entire book it’s a will they won’t they plot where the characters love each other and tell each other so but they can’t be married for one reason or another. I felt that there was too much going on between the step daughter, the stepson being a creep, the book, Hunt’s brother, Leela’s “infertility”, Leela’s family and travels and everyone’s refusal to have an adult conversation.
First it’s Leela who refuses to acknowledge Hunt and his feelings and then gets mad when he won’t talk to her. It’s back and forth the entire book of will they or won’t they. And it got boring. Seriously the only one who acts like a damn adult is Tori and she’s seventeen!
And then there is the “infertility” plot, where we are told MANY times that she is barren or infertile and most likely can’t have kids and it’s a big reason why she won’t marry Hunt. Then it’s like jk, she’s not barren/infertile here’s their baby girl and now we are making more!
There were some great parts I loved Tori’s storyline and was more interested in her than Leela or Hunt. I also loved the look into life as a widow and how that differs from a debutant. I do want to read the rest of the series this one just wasn’t for me.
