I just wish there’d been more...Poppy and Tristan had so much more story to tell.

I expected so much more for Poppy's book! I was very disappointed because I loved her in The Scoundrel's Honor. The beginning of the book was great and I loved Poppy with Tristan. It just fell flat in the second half for me. Poppy's personality somehow got lost in the second half. I think I was more curious about Caleb Gray and I am hoping he gets his own book. Was it just me or did Mr. Gray and Claire have some sexual tension?

The youngest Tidemore sister, Poppy, finally gets her story. After watching sister by sister being ruined and finding love it was Poppy's turn. And who would be a better suitor for her than the family friend Tristan Poplar, formerly Earl of Maxwell not reduced to the Baron of Bolingbroke after a scandal is uncovered about how his parents stole the Maxwell title.
While Poppy has always loved Tristan, he still sees her more as a girl and friend. When the 2 form a marriage of conveninece to help both of their scandals Poppy thought that would be enough but she needed more and her new husband was off the the army to try to regain some honor.
Christi Caldwell has an amazing way of writing characters with feeling and reading about this couple is at times both heartwarming and heartbreaking. While each suffers in their own way, they are able to bring out the best in each other if only they would be allowed to do so.
The laughter and tears in this book make the happily ever after all the more wonderful when it finally comes.

The title is kind of misleading considering that the hero spends the first part of the book thinking of Poppy as his buddy's kid sister, then most of the middle trying to chase her off because she's too good for him, then most of the rest reluctantly married to her after she practically twists his arm. He does court her on the last two pages, so there's that...

Pretty typical Regency romance, not really anything memorable or particularly special about this one.
