A review by loriley
Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare
3.0
3.5/5
I loved parts of this book but it’s conclusion was kind of a mess
The chemistry between Jeremy and Lucy was fantastic, utterly perfect.
This book has a lot going on from the beginning with Lucy trying to get Jeremy to help her learn seduction to steal Toby from his courtship (both of whom are her older brother’s friends), along with in the background a married brother/guardian, a sister in law, a senile aunt, and a bunch of dead parents and emotional baggage. From there we go to schemings, a fake relationship, seduction, a forced marriage, and tenant farm issues and more emotional baggage. It was almost like this was two stories smushed into one, which isn’t necessarily bad but it makes the story long and chaotic.
Now my issues:
2. None of the tenant issues were actually solved!!!! Also there are still two orphans with zero adult guidance. Giving a 12 yr old a job doesn’t give his 5 yr old sister the supervision or support she needs.
3. I know it was to set up for the sequel but the issues with Toby’s engagement ending felt totally random and detracted from the conclusion
