The main male character is THE worst. It ruined the whole book for me. The main female character and the first third almost make it a 2 star because those were enjoyable, but the guy was that bad. Do not recommend.

Nou dit was een tegenvaller.
Als de hoofdpersonages met elkaar hadden gepraat, was dit een novelle van 30 blz geweest ofzo. Daar kon ik me erg aan storen.
Ook zag ik de grote twist allang aankomen, en was er amper chemie tussen de hoofdpersonages waar ik het warm van kreeg, en dat is eigenlijk toch wel waar ik Julia Quinn voor lees.
Ze lijkt nooit een goed laatste deel van een serie te schrijven. Misschien moeten al haar series 1 boek minder dan gepland gaan bevatten, ofzo. Alsof ze met haar hoofd al bij iets anders is, maar dit nog even af moet maken.

A fun and quick read.
Iris had some depth but all other characters felt very peripheral.
I enjoyed the mystery. I did not see the twist coming, it was quite a surprise. But the big reveal resulted in Richard’s character being assassinated. He did not quite redeem himself, I don’t see how he ever could.
The pacing of the plot was a little awkward, the ending felt very rushed. Either the book should have been longer or the twist should have come sooner.
Overall it was fun, and to its credit had an unexpected twist. But by the end I certainly wasn’t rooting for the couple and it ultimately left a bad taste.
