A review by alliehwilliams
A Certain Appeal by Vanessa King

3.0

I wanted to love this one so much, with its modern-day, creative Pride and Prejudice take. And I appreciated the research that obviously went into this, with all of the details on the behind the scenes of burlesque. I just could not connect with the characters, the romance was flat, it just didn't work for me on any level and I had to push to get through it. I know I am in the minority here--this book and I just were not compatible. Giving it three stars though for the obvious work that went into it.
