The Spinster and the Rake by Eva Devon
3.0
Would recommend this book to people who want a steamier pride and prejudice.
I don’t necessarily know how I feel about this book. On one hand I think the nerodivergent rep was good. As someone who has a similar set of things to Edward, I really understood all the ways that he was coming from. I enjoyed how he had to work really hard to learn how people feel and understand cues for things, even if he didn’t necessarily understand himself. And also it was nice to see him get an understanding wife.
All that said, the chemistry just didn’t feel like it was there. I felt like Georgianne was kinda bland as a heroine. While she started of fiery and determined she ended up just being biddable and boring. It felt like she just gave up after they got married and all her personality was zapped from her.
Story overall was okay but honestly would’ve been a 4 star if Georgianne was more fleshed out and consistent.
