Deflecting the Duke by Alexa Aston
4.0
This is the second book of a very interesting series, Dukes Done Wrong, that follows the lives of five boys who were unjustly wronged, accused of terrible things they never committed and sent to a sort of correcting school where they met and became fast friends.
The plot of this second book seemed quite simple at the beginning: our main characters, Wyatt and Meadow, want to marry and have children, but they don’t want to find love because they think it will bring too much unwanted complications to their life. They are both looking for a marriage of convenience. It is not to be, of course… The hero and heroine are quite attractive and well characterized, even if I found Wyatt much too arrogant despite his good heart and maybe a little… exaggerated in his ways. Meadow is very naïve in regard to love and passion, very inexperienced, but has a strong character.
But at some point there’s an unexpected turn in the story which makes it even more interesting. Something comes out which could potentially ruin their blossoming love… No spoilers, of course, but it has to do with the strange litographs that Meadows finds at the beginning of the book and which spark a good side story. I look forward to the following books with the stories of the other boys. I think the most interesting one will be that of the Vicar… All in all, four very deserved stars.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
