I didn't like how the hero still didn't like her by 50-60% into the book and he only liked her after he tried her potion that made her sister aroused and horny in the previous novel. He said it's not because of the potion but there is no really other way why he would like her as the chemistry between these two lacked a lot....more

Maybe it's the audiobook I'm listening to or maybe it's because it's instant lust and trust on some pretty bland characters.

I debated on giving this one a 4 or 3.5 stars so I'm going to go with 3.5 because this whole relationship is based on a lie. She's lying about her ideI debated on giving this one a 4 or 3.5 stars so I'm going to go with 3.5 because this whole relationship is based on a lie. She's lying about her identity but ends up falling in love with him and is a coward to admit anything. Even to the point that he was about to marry her half sister after successfully pulling off the charade. I wanted him to be angry and have that angst about who is she really? She's lied to me. I can't trust her. Can I? I also was kind of bored throughout the first half of the book because of the lies and there was nothing really happening. However, the plot was interesting because of the characterizations, the character backgrounds such as him having an illegitimate daughter, her coming from a home that created a brothel. So... 3.5 stars! Still would recommend it....more

This book was such a perfect read on a Sunday afternoon. It's about a Duke who has a rough nasty past with an abusive father but is a giant soft teddy bear who really cares about his illegitimate twins. He just doesn't know how to be with children so he hires governesses to take care of them until our heroine forces her way into his house and teaches him how to be with them and how to love the children. It brought tears to my eyes because their love was truly beautiful and Natural. I loved them finding each other in this hot and slow burn kind of way. ...more

The woman is weak and wants to please her husband a lot which is fine but she had such low self esteem about her curvy body and it became the major plotline for the entire book. They don't have sex because he respects her and thinks she's not interested. And she gets hurt because she thinks he doesn't find her attractive....more

Fuck it I'm giving this a 5 out 5 stars for original realistic angst between two people from different classes. Our hero is born a bastard but his fatFuck it I'm giving this a 5 out 5 stars for original realistic angst between two people from different classes. Our hero is born a bastard but his father took him in and took care of him despite of his status. To fulfill his dying wish, our hero agrees to find a wife but what he least expected was to fall for the girl who is in love with his best friend. The heroine feels like she needs to marry the man her older sister turned down and in order to gain his interest, she thinks by playing a matchmaker for his best friend, she'll be in his good books and then everyone gets a happily ever after. What they both least expect is falling for each other!
I liked the angst in this one because it took an approach I've never seen before. Our heroine and hero know they love each other but our heroine messes up by not declaring her feelings to him when he needs to hear it the most. So it's up to her to make things right. Meanwhile, Megan didn't drag it out but gave it just the right amount of time for it to simmer and for them to put aside differences. I also love the final redemption our hero had when he met his grandfather who never took him in as his own....more
NOTE TO THE FUTURE LISA - this series has weird empowering phrases that are supposed to make you smile with content but it just ends up being cheesy aNOTE TO THE FUTURE LISA - this series has weird empowering phrases that are supposed to make you smile with content but it just ends up being cheesy and dumb. Also the audiobook narrator sucks so much. She paused akwardly and made the book longer.
2.5 definitely very disappointed with this one as I heard that Megan wrote funny books. While our hero and heroine met under really cute circumstances (she fell on top of him in a bookstore and they found a sex book) I could not find anything interesting in this book. It was sexy but so boring at the same time. They explore themselves sexually but as characters they are so fucking bland. I feel like I can swear since this book swore so much But nothing happened!!! They were hanging out a lot and they kissed and she whined about never getting to marry for love and he was struggling a little bit over liking his brothers fiance. I just... bleh....more

One road trip where they are forced together in close proximity and yet nothing happens. Our heroine wants an adventure and wants to go find her sister who has run away for a long time. Our hero is in the carriage she takes and decides to follow her to protect her. They get stuck at a cabin with one bed and lots of hot stuff happens but I just FELT LACK OF EMOTION AND CHEMISTRY. Megan told me they couldn't keep their hands off of each other but so what? She told me they loved each other but did I believe it? No. They were very shallow characters that had no depth aside from one whiny girl who wants to go on an adventure and a dude who has daddy issues.
But still it deserves a 3 stars because there are some really cute scenes in this so fine. I'll relent. And also if I'm giving the first book 2 stars, it wouldn't be fair to give this 2 too....more
