divineauthor 's review for:
The Devil and the Heiress
by Harper St. George
emotional
fast-paced
“I miss you constantly […] I love you constantly.” —Lord Leigh, page 267
so this was a major disappointment. this is my first st. george novel, and i hate to say that i probably won’t read any more of her books unless it really calls to me.
violet and christian’s romance . . . is lackluster. their first kiss didn’t move me, neither did many of their intimate scenes. on a sentence-level, st. george is capable of writing decently, but there’s no sauce to her characters which means there’s no sauce to the whole book. i hated how christian wasn’t a true “devil” to violet’s “heiress” because it’d make violet feeling betrayed at least more believable! boo hoo, all your feelings are hurt—girl, you’re nineteen and he’s in his late twenties. be real right now. yeah, historical romance, etc etc . . . it is off-putting how much emphasis there was on their age gap. like can we be fucking serious here. anyway. boring as fuck. don’t recommend unless you want to claw your eyes out. love n light, guys!
