The Viscount Can Wait by Marie Tremayne
⭐️⭐️
I loved the first book in this series and, based on Eliza and Thomas’ interactions in that book, I was looking forward to this one. And it was a huge letdown.
Nothing interesting happens the first half of the book. The phrase, “show me, don’t tell me” kept going through my head. It was just page after page of Eliza and Thomas have the same thoughts again and again. It was maddening and I actually quit reading the book for a week or two.
I’m so over the hero that has slept with everything in skirts and feels entitled. I have no clue what drew Thomas to Eliza besides the fact he hadn’t slept with her yet. She was devoid of any real personality. And I liked her actual suitor better than Thomas. Thomas was a dick but it’s okay because he’s nice to her daughter.
I couldn’t figure out what they liked about each other, and it seemed neither could they. Thomas’ realization he’s in love with Eliza came completely out of nowhere. I remember checking to make sure I hadn’t skipped more pages than I intended to because I was so surprised by it.
I loved the first book and I will be reading the next because it’s plot was kind of set up on this one and sounds interesting.
*I received an eARC from Edelweiss and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
