Lady Claire is All That by Maya Rodale Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely loved it!!
Lady Claire Cavendish is by all accounts a bit odd. She wears spectacles and will talk endlessly to anyone willing to listen about her love of math. She wields her intelligence like a weapon to keep suitors at bay until her sisters' futures are secure.
Lord Fox is not an intellectual by any stretch of the imagination and sees Lady Claire the same way everyone else in the ton does. Until the day he makes a fateful wager that he can make her the darling of the ton and begins to learn Lady Claire adds up to more than meets the eye.
I will admit that I wasn't a big fan of Fox from Lady Bridget's Diary although even after three readings I can't quite remember why. Maybe it was because he was already betrothed but I wasn't a huge fan of him being Claire's suitor...until I read the book. I fell in love with Fox right along with Claire and thought he was perfect for her in the end.
I liked Claire a lot too, especially when she gave her reasons for trying to drive others away. I really enjoyed reading about her journey from assuming there was no substance to Fox to learning what a good man he was.
The plot was not a heavy one, and I love those. I'm embarrassed to admit it took me way too long to realize I was reading the historical romance version of She's All That (I blame the fact that I've only watched that movie once in my life). The result was a fun and easy read with two great main characters and lots of fun secondary characters too.
I've already preordered the next book in the series and can't wait to read it!!
