Seduced By a Lady's Heart by Christi Caldwell

I had some problems with this book. The main problem is that the plot is too simple. I felt like there were many subplots that could have been a lot more developed but in the end it just end up being oversimplified. Also, I've never really felt like Lucien fell in love with Eloise and the whole "he had always loved her, but never realised it" didn't ring true.
I'd also have loved to know more about his first wife Sara and what made her so special that he basically forgot all about his friend Eloise. The fact that Lucien deserved to be called out for his behaviour and everything felt so easy for him made me a little mad, to be honest. Sometimes I just wanted to slap him in the face. Same thing with Eloise's brother-in-law, that apparently only appeared for making us angry but was such a plot device that simply disappeared?
I didn't like Lucien or Eloise, and that was another problem. After all, if you don't care enough about the main characters, chances are you won't care about the story, and that was exactly what happened in my case. In the end, it all just felt so boring.
