First of all, I love Megan Frampton’s writing style and have reread more than one of her books. That being said, I just did not enjoy this one.
This title started out great and had my attention. I even loved the hero, Griffith, but it soon became apparent that Della was awful and there’s nothing worse than a good hero ended up with a terrible heroine.
I wrote in my notes as I was reading that Della is a “selfish cow” after her daughter still hadn’t made an appearance in the book and Della’s main concern seemed to be the fact that she was no longer invited or accepted to parties. Oh, and I can’t forget that she wants to screw Griffith basically from the beginning of the book. Forgive me for thinking a heroine who admits her life was somewhat ruined by getting pregnant out of wedlock once would be so willing to risk it again (and I know they had some forms of birth control back then).
All of that was incredibly disappointing because I really did love Griffith. I found him hilarious and couldn’t wait for his POV. He is honestly the main thing that kept me from all out hating this title.
I feel like this title was the weakest of the series but I am looking forward to the novella about Pearl and will continue to read Ms. Frampton’s titles.
