When He Was Wicked by Julia Quinn

2.0

I liked the first half of the book even tho I thought it was a bit weird that Michael was in love w her for so long without any other woman being of any interest to him but whatever I can get past that. It’s creepy as hell and so glossed over that Michael’s intention was to trap Francesca into marriage by seducing her. And then it’s weird that Francesca loves sleeping w him, wants to be married, wants to have a baby but refuses to marry him. Presumably out of respect to John…yet she’s been sleeping with him so what’s the difference??? And it’s infuriating how she just doesn’t know anything. “Why don’t you wanna marry me” idk and when her mother asks her why she kept her pregnancy and child birth a secret from her and didn’t go see her for over a year she just says idk?? What does she know???? I find myself getting so disappointed in the Bridgerton men and some of the storylines just don’t hold up.
