One Duke Down by Anna Bennett

2.0

I really wanted to love this because the blurb made it seem so good, but it just didn't live up to the hype for me. Too much angst, not enough romance. Not enough relationship building or getting to know the characters. Its all just struggling and trying to figure out who hurt the duke. If I wanted a mystery, I'd choose one, not a romance. Also, I'm sorry, but the sea-related analogies get super annoying and corny. Every sentence doesn't have to relate to the ocean, mermaids, pirates, fish, etc. It almost reads like a DIsney fairytale for kids... but with spicy scenes randomly thrown in. It was just a no for me... sorry. Thanks for the opportunity to try though.
