An Unlikely Countess by Jo Beverley

3.0

Intensely readable, although the villains are rather unimpressive and the external drama feels tacked-on and unrealistic. It makes the book a less stressful read because it allows Beverley to make the emotional interpersonal family drama less important - we can still have soothing conclusions to those issues because there are Real Villains to be pursued - but it's kind of silly. The introduction of Diana Arradale towards the end also felt tacked-on and unnecessary. Overall, a pleasant book but not much to set it apart from Beverly's other works.
