2.0
so all of her personality just DISAPPEARED???? suddenly she needs to marry, be the nice little perfect wife and mother for a dude who's an alcoholic, completely detached from reality, and embodies the ultra patriarchal ideal of masculinity. He lures her to his house just so that he doesn't have to form a bond with his children or care for anything other than plants??? oh but he's delighted because HIS BED IS WARM?? and then he's mad at her for saying that she's not perfectly happy just being fucked and caring for HIS children?? the character development is SHIT, he doesn't change and she has no personality. the romance plot is SOO basic and the change from LUST to I LOVE YOU just not believable cuz so sudden.

Ännu en fantastisk Brigerton bok av Julia Quinn. Jag älskar Brigerton böckerna och rekommenderar dem starkt.
Denna handlar om Eloise, det femte syskonet, och Philip som förlorat sin hustru och behöver en förändring i sitt liv. Eloise och Philip har skickat brev till varandra under en tid när Philip ger Eloise ett förslag. När andra event påverkar Eloise liv, så tar hon ett oväntat beslut som varken Philip eller hennes familj vet om.
En historisk romans att älska även om den på vissa ställen varit sorglig. Rekommenderar verkligen att läsa denna bok men läs Brigerton böckerna i ordning.

I’m pretty sure Sir Phillip would have married anyone who didn’t mind his kids. He’s controlling and gross.
(Also, I could have sworn there was a scene in here that I disliked, but it wasn’t in this book, and now I wonder it where was.)
