To Wed a Wicked Earl by Olivia Parker

Did not finish book.
DNF at 29%. This book doesn’t seem to have been well thought out. It reads like a mishmash of ideas even before a cogent first draft. At the end of the last book, Charlotte talks about pursuing a relationship with Rothbury. In the beginning of this book she just wants to be friends with him.

And, we learn that he has been in love with her for six years and disappointed when she loved his best friend. However, at no point does his behavior match the thoughts we are told he’s thinking. It really just makes no sense and as much as I enjoy the characters which means I must enjoy the writing somewhat, I just need to stop this book. There are other things to read that are better

This book also has one of my least favorite sentiments of all time! “Men and women can’t be friends!” I don’t believe that. I think it’s actually detrimental crap!
