I don’t like when the girl forces the hero to love her. It started promising, but when he started falling in love he became an asshole for no reason and started treating her like shit. At the end she forces a love confession and then he shuts down again. It all happens at the end, he should have grovelled a lot more for his stupid behaviour. He didn’t. I also don’t get why she loved him, he was an uptight asshole who didn’t even bother to make sex pleasurable for her, she had to force him to give her some pleasure.
Also unnecessary OW dramas, he allows a girl who treats his wife like shit to visit them for WEEKS after they just got married, and allows the chit to flirt with him, in front of everyone without saying anything. It’s meant to be passed as a: he didn’t pay her any attention because he was preoccupied with how much he wanted the heroine without being able to have her (for reasons) but it just screamed disrespect to me.

Marriage of convenience is my jam. Wallflowers vs. proud/starchy aristos is another. I had a great time reading this.

After [b:The Devil Is a Marquess|29965525|The Devil Is a Marquess (Rescued from Ruin, #4)|Elisa Braden|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1461877011l/29965525._SY75_.jpg|50360158], this is my favorite book of the Rescued from Ruin series. Jane is a shy, yet intelligent woman who cares with her whole being. Harrison is an honorable, yet passionate man who is afraid to feel lest he is overtaken with it.
This "plain Jane" brings out the Duke's true nature and once the ball gets rolling, there's no stopping it. Despite a LOT of obstacles (misunderstandings and made by the heroes), this is a fun relationship to read about.
