Wilde in Love by Eloisa James

4.0

I enjoyed this story. The H/h are great characters and I found the growth of their romance to be believable. Their banter is amusing and I adored many of the secondary characters, including Lavinia and Lady Knowe. The story is well developed, if a little slow at times. I’m interested to see how things work out for North in future books, and I’m kind of rooting for another pairing, but I’ll say nothing more about that for risk of spoilers. My only complaint is that the author uses “tool” as a synonym for Alaric’s private parts and something about that just sets my teeth on edge. It didn’t crop up until nearly 70% of the way through the book, so I thought I’d dodged it here, but no. Thankfully, it’s used more sparingly here than in a previous book I read, where it was beyond distracting.
