Don't You Dare, My Dear by Charlie Lane
5.0
Katherine has finally decided to free herself from her duties to her younger sister. After all, she’s grown up and has married well. And Kat has already sacrificed too much for her, including the man she loved. So now she has a plan. But to carry it out she needs the help of the very man she rejected…
Edmund has sworn that if he can’t marry the woman he loves, he’ll remain a bachelor. So when a daring debutante tries to entrap him, he’ll do whatever it takes to get rid of her. Including securing the help of his friends and of the only woman he has ever loved…
My favorite books are character-driven ones, therefore I love Lane’s books because her characters are exceptionally well developed and she focuses on showing the reader the inner workings of their minds. This time, I must confess that Katherine was kind of irritating for most of the book and she made me appreciate Edmund even more for his patience and understanding. I’m sure it’s my fault, because I prefer heroines who take their life into their own hands and she waited far too long to do it. On the contrary, he knew what he wanted from the beginning and was nothing but sweet, generous, kind and willing to sacrifice his own happiness to hers. So five stars to this book and four are all due to Edmund!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
