The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy by Julia Quinn

tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I hated this book. Iris was one of the best supporting characters in the others of this series, and I like her in this book, too, but Richard is a POS. How could she possibly forgive him? And we don't even really understand how they fall in "love." If anything, Iris is probably feeling "in love" because he gaslighted her and manipulated her throughout the entire book. Richard is a predatory man and doesn't seem to understand or care about women, just his and his family's image. 

Quinn did Iris dirty.
