His at Night
by Sherry Thomas
Jan 2021 re-read:
Re-read via audio. Kate Reading as good as always apart from one instance of a dodgy regional accent.
Nov 2019:
A Scarlet Pimpernel hero who is pretending to be a harmless dolt but is fighting crime on the sly. A heroine who is suffering awful emotional abuse and is desperate to escape her uncle's home via any means necessary.
My favourite part was the relationship between the hero and his brother Freddie, which was really sweet - and there was a believable explanation of why Freddie didn't know about the secret identity and crime-fighting.
I was less enamoured with the central romance. I didn't like the hero's initial resentment towards the heroine after she traps him into marriage, which manifested as threatening behaviour. And I found myself wishing the heroine would stick up for herself, despite knowing how traumatised she must be. Thomas does a good job of making me believe in their HEA, but I never quite forgot and forgave his initial behaviour.
