A Nefarious Engagement by Lynn Messina
2.0
Take note authors who write alpha-male romance heroes. Those guys suck. Make them like the Duke of Kesgrave. He is all things #goals.
Unfortunately, that cannot be said for the rest of this book. Some moments were hilarious. But this story is designed to be more personal, more emotional, and as a result it becomes more angsty. Bea is researching the possible murder of her parents and she isn't going to let logic interrupt her emotions.
It is exhausting.
The murderer is obvious from the moment his name comes up and if Bea paused for one second to think about it she would realize most of her worst fears were unfounded. It felt out of character for her. I know this on is supposed to bring character growth but I missed the dry, unassuming heroine who throws herself into things we met in earlier books. This girl just locks herself in her room and cries.
But the main couple remains lovely so on to the next book I go!
