Ravishing the Heiress by Sherry Thomas

So I liked this more than Beguiling the Beauty (the second Thomas I’ve read that hinges on a lady somehow keeping their face from being seen in the most absurd circumstances—not a fan!), and I thought the narrative structure of this was particularly lovely for a marriage in “crisis” plot (I feel like 8 years puts it beyond the realm of marriage of convenience). But as the narrative unfolds, particularly in the flashbacks, it becomes more and more ridiculous that Fitz just instantly decides to not only jump when Isabelle says to, but that he instantly agrees to engage in a lifetime domestic arrangement with her??? There is literally nothinggggggg she offers that is better than what he currently has with Millie, even pre-sex. I wanted to March into his study and toss poor little Alice’s taxidermied body out the window in frustration.
