The idea of this book is fun; a book club for men who read romances to improve their relationships. It’s interesting to have a male lead in a hetero romance book too, you don’t see that very often.
But unfortunately I found the main characters a little unlikable. They are both a bit foolish, and the whole plot is based on their inability to communicate. Misunderstandings and dramatic storm-outs are rife, and to add to that it was a little too steamy for my taste, it overtook the plot.
Another thing I struggled with was the regency era chapters interspaced within this book. The plot of those chapters was so similar to the plot of the main book that it felt like I was reading each chapter twice. I found myself skim reading a few of these.
This book didn’t quite hit expectations for me so I won’t be continuing on with the series. But it was interesting to read something unique and a little bit different.
— I received an e-ARC of this novel through Netgalley. This doesn’t affect my view and it is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinions on this book
