A review by nati18
Irresistible by Mary Balogh

slow-paced

2.5

Not terrible, but the romance here felt a little dry. I was constantly aggravated by Sophie's terrible decision making. Like everyone respected her privacy and wouldn't have needed all the details in order to help her, but she sometimes it felt like she was choosing to be miserable even after seeing how much everyone cared for her. 

Nathaniel is also very Manly Man (which I was kind of expecting from a period romance, but still, ew) which is hard for me to care about, so I was more interested in the background romance. 

Also very much not a fan of

everyone threatening to out the gay villain. Like the characters talk about how fine they are with other people being gay but still decide that it is an appropriate punishment. Hm.
