A review by maiagaia
The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare

lighthearted fast-paced

• Diverse cast of characters? No

2.5

A quick, fun read. The perfect, fluffy thing to read in an afternoon. The set up was fun, but the two break all the agreed upon rules way too quickly for my taste, making the set up a bit pointless. I wish the author had trusted her readers enough not to explicitly spell out every character motivation. I understand the impulse, but I roll my eyes when The Already Obvious Point is hammered home for the second, third, or even fourth time by a line of text that just explains the actions we have already observed.
