A review by chandlerainsley
A Lady of Persuasion by Tessa Dare

2.0

2 clueless main characters = 2 star read

this one at least kept me interested to the end, unlike the second book in the series. but it was also worse??

i really wanted to like toby, and i initially really liked isabel. but the more the story went on the more irritated i got at the lack of communication. i get ppl were more private with their childhood trauma & emotions or whateva but the constant lack of understanding between the two of them was pretty unbearable to read about.

toby was constantly putting isabel on a pedestal that she really didn't want to be on. isabel was trying to make toby get into government which was really not what he wanted. they were both immature af.

and i get it's ye olden days but, not to be crass, if it's not a name you can scream you should not name ur hero that.

toby

i rest my case.
