This Rake of Mine by Elizabeth Boyle

1.0

I'm not sure why I read all of this tbh, because so much about this book annoyed me: all the tedious mental lusting, all the obnoxious matchmaking [obnoxious matchmaking as a plot point irritates me a lot less when it isn't presented as the matchmakers genuinely knowing better than the people they're trying to match], all the "humorous" sexism, the hero whose only appealing quality seems to be that the heroine wants to bang him
Spoilerhe's supposed to be this great secret agent, but his personality still sucks
, everyone being stupid as hell...and yet I still wanted to know how the mystery/thriller plot would be resolved. It was unsatisfying, and then the narrative totally takes the wrong side between the hero and heroine. Ugh.
