Here we are with another amusing installation to the "Fortune Brides" series!! I am enjoying this series immensely and I look forward to the notifications saying the next book is available for my eyeballs to devour.
This cast of characters did not strike my fancy, and I might've huffed and puffed a few times at their antics.
We met Yvette in book 2, and not gonna lie she wasn't my favorite. Sadly those feelings rolled into her love story as well. Something about her rubbed me wrong and though I kept TRYING to like her, her attitude or response to a situation would make me change my mind. I DID like her sass, and her perseverance though! She was a strong one.
The earl's mother & sister confused the living daylights out of me. One minute they HATED Yvette and the next they couldn't live without her. Flip-floppy attitudes...NOT MY CUP OF COFFEE! ANNNDDDD they were SUPER judgmental. I mean that was kinda the norm in that day, but still it kept my eyeballs a-rollin'.
The earl was so-so for me. I *liked* him, but he also let his mom and sister walk all over him.
He did have that gentle giant aspect to him...a big ole' teddy bear. He was a good man with a good heart.
We did some more action in this book...and you know I'm ALL ABOUT THAT! I've really been loving that about this series!
I did enjoy the story and I'm glad Yvette's story has wrapped up. I'm CRAZY excited to see where the series goes!
I rated it a 3.75/5 stars.
Quotes:
Julian blinked."When did you grow so wise about women?"
Gregory laughed. "I'm surronded, old boy. I ought to have learned something."
