The Duke I Tempted by Scarlett Peckham

3.0

...This book felt much longer than it was.

So, this was an okay read. I loved the pairing of Poppy and Archer, but there were moments when I wasn't so sure they were suited for each other. For the most part of the book, they spend their time bickering over misunderstandings and miscommunication and it gets really frustrating the longer it goes on.

One scene that I particularly hated was
Spoilerwhen the fire happened and Poppy runs into the building to save her work. Understandable, I get why she would do this. But then when Archer saves her, she's practically telling him he doesn't understand why she would do this, and he doesn't know what it's like to lose someone. HELLO? HE LITERALLY LOST HIS WIFE AND KID IN A FIRE! And she's like I'll never forgive you but does like that next chapter or something? It was just so annoying
.

Would be interested in reading the next couple of books, but I hope the communication is much better in those.
