marylinaris 's review for:
The Spinster and the Rake
by Eva Devon
Neither of them wanted to get married, much less to each other, yet Georgiana and Edward find themselves engaged after a battle of wills that got out of hand. She is unprepared and intimidated of becoming a Duchess and he is certain that she planed the compromise somehow. And I'm standing by the side hooked from the first page.
They fit so well together yet it took them a bit to realize that they can find more in each other than the sizzling air between them whenever these two would find themselves alone together. It was great to see these two discover that their connection went beyond their instant physical connection and how they developed a deep understanding of one another.
I also weirdly enjoyed their misunderstandings, probably because they were based on perfectly reasonable assumptions they had made about each other and how they learned to communicate better.
What I loved best about this story were the two main characters, the author wrote them so well-rounded and realistic, that it was a joy to follow their story.
Edward especially is (positively) different to any other romantic hero I've ever read about. He reads like he is on the spectrum and as people with invisible disabilities and mental illnesses existed throughout history, I appreciated this character a lot. This book did a great job portraying how someones life who is on the spectrum could've looked like if they lived in 1795 and the right vocabulary and the proper guidance on how to cope is just not there.
I was provided an e-ARC by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
