Not the Duke's Darling by Elizabeth Hoyt
3.0
Not The Duke's Darling, by Elizabeth Hoyt, was published in December 2018. The first book in a new series, Greycourt. Three friends, one horrible incident, actions have consequences. I'm on the fence about this book. It's deffinately Ms Hoyt's work, she deals with action plots very well but somehow this story fell short. I suppose the secret Wise Women society plot was a little too far fetched. It would have been nice if such a group existed but sadly not. Freya de Moray is a likeable character until she's not. Back and forth with her. She's strong, capable, intelligent, should be a perfect alpha female character. Her blind anger and lust for vengence is sharp and deep. It's long lasting but quick to go away.
Christopher Renshaw is one of those characters that unexpectedly came into a title, Duke of Harlow, and has to struggle to keep up. He has employees to help but he's thrown in the deep end & survives. He's a nice man but geeze, he's beating himself up through the entire book. His enlightenment comes too quick & completely for me to find it believable. I'm torn about him too.
I do love Ms Hoyt's work and hope the next book has characters I can become invested in and root for. I received an Arc of this book from the author. Happy reading.
