upturnedroots 's review for:

Dearest Rogue by Elizabeth Hoyt
4.0

This was too much angst, even for me, and that's because it wasn't just romantic/emotional angst, but truly dark and heartbreaking situations that weren't given enough attention and justice. I did like James and Phoebe, but a lot of other situations were really difficult to read about. I was pretty much ready to cry for the whole book. I did like the atmosphere/setting, and James's family though.

The preview of Eve and Asa has me excited though, because their set up sounds so fun with her having to reign in his expenses at Harte's Folly and him sort of being in charge alone this whole time and not wanting to be financially managed, much needed after this book, I think.
