The Duke's Shotgun Wedding by Stacy Reid
3.0
I've been on a Stacy Reid read-a-thon and thought I would give this series a shot, especially since this book was only a little over 100 pages. My biggest problem ironically turned out to be the reason I was attracted to this book - the page count. Right from the beginning, I felt like the story was rushed and that I just didn't have enough time to get to know the characters and for what I would think the characters to get to know each other and actually fall in love. I didn't have too much of a problem with the story overall, with a slight exception of the female mc slapping the male mc. Personally, I don't think physical violence in a relationship, no matter how warranted the repercussion may be, is something that should be seen as part of a healthy relationship. People who find issue with domestic violence might be more triggered or upset about it than I was.
Overall, it was a quick story. After starting the second book in this series, I've found that it's going over a relationship that is already established at the beginning of the first book, which was disconcerting. I would say if you want to give this series a try, start with book 2, then read book 1 (this one). I feel like that would have a more natural flow than the current order. If anyone does do this, let me know!
