What the Duke Wants by Amy Quinton
Did not finish book.
2.0
DNF at 50%. Grammar mistakes, punctuation mistakes, and a bunch of words and expressions that were used for the first time at least 50 years after this story supposedly takes place (I researched them). Everyone keeps adressing the Duke as "DUKE" WTF! There are random first person sentences all over the place, and the characters' toughts ramble on for pages about inconsecuential things. All these little details kept janking me out of the story.
I just couldn't understand why Grace was so infatuated with the Duke, when she spends way more time with his more charming friend the Marquiss. Specially when said Duke has been nothing but rude, when he deigned to speak two words to her. And in the same vein, why was he attracted to her? He has spent all of two minutes interacting with her! Really, if the love interest was the Marquiss, it would make so much more sense! Dansbury actually falls in love with Grace, afer spending days in her company (chaperoned, mind you).
The murder-mystery/secret society sub-plot makes no sense, and I just stopped caring what happened to these people.
