A review by winesharksea
Her Officer and Gentleman by Karen Hawkins
2.0
(the second of these books which i read during The Episode) i do appreciate that this one had a plot which sort of covered the shortcomings of the love story. i do NOT appreciate the hot highwayman vibe, nor do i understand how he is a landowning gentleman but also a highwayman? the fact that beth is pretty obviously a blank slate for the reader to insert their own personality into was extremely clear here so i really can't say anything about her but it made the romance extremely confusing, as most of it consisted of christian and beth somehow psychically discerning each other's entire personality via eye contact without speaking
anyway once again why bother with the fake jeeves character when he contributes literally nothing to the plot? it's just another mystery that isn't meant for us to comprehend
i appreciated that christian at least didn't make me want to reach for a pitchfork more than twice but beyond that his personality was also pretty nondescript... i guess a major plot point is that he likes to wear black and is tall with green eyes but are these really personality traits? i would say no but hey, what do i know
also he is not an officer?? i know she's just ripping off the title of an officer and a gentleman but come on at least copy a title with more relevance to the character or plot!
