Summer Reads 29: Miss Chadwick's Champion by Melinda McRae

 The Before:

Yorkshire... better not use the accent.


The Feels:

Reminds me of one of Georgette Heyer's novels


The Concerns:

Yeah... I think she ripped off The Convenient Marriage... Even the hitting a guy in the head and almost killing him. 

Also if Heyer has taught me anything, it is that proper young ladies do not/cannot travel across England alone.  In Sylvester (I think it was?), she literally travels with a STRANGER!

Summer Reads 28: The Perfect Fiancee

This one doesn't even get a proper review.


DON'T MARRY YOUR WARD!!!!!!!

That's literally what every bad guy tries to do in every gothic novel and OG fairytale

Summer Reads 26: Marry in Haste by Lyn Kerstan

 The Before:

Meet cute by hitting love interest in the head with a frying pan... That sounds bad, but it also sounds like the Disney movie Tangled!! πŸ‘ΈπŸ‘ΈπŸ‘ΈπŸ‘ΈπŸ’–πŸ˜»


The Feels:

Off to a good start. The dream is actually not too cliche. I like how Kerstan wrote about the lead; she doesn't know how to make hot chocolate and worried to upset the cook if she tries. She decides to make tea. This shows the reader that; 1.) cares about her staff. 2.) self aware as a person 3.) shows her privilege 

The Concerns:

Summer Reads 25: The Enterprising Lord Edward by Michelle Kasey

The Before:


The Feels:


The Concerns:

Plot is "this guy wants to f*ck my cousin, but she's can't f*ck. I guess I'll have to get him to f*ck me instead.


Plot: 0/10
Writing Style: 1/10

Summer Reads 24: The Toplofty Lord Thorpe by Michelle Kasey

The Before: 


The Feels:


The Concerns:
This is basically a continuation of my last post... would also like to add f*ck starting with a letter.


Plot: 1/10
Writing Style: .5/10 (Because of the double whammy of plot dump argument and letter)
Meaningfullness: 1/10

Summer Reads 23: The Ruthless Lord Rule

 The Before:



The Feels:
