✨The Chasing of Eleanor Vane✨
Elevator Pitch: 20-year-old Eleanor is running away from her arranged marriage to local ducal heir and wet towel. She meets the current silver-fox duke and falls in love like I fall up the stairs (promptly and without much grace). He saves her from a rain storm and decides the only way to warm her up is *friction.*
This one was fine, although it was the second age-gap one I’d read here and I am just not that into major age-gaps. He kinda pissed me off because he was really going to leave the duchy (and I’m assuming the tenants) to a spoiled sourpuss nephew, as well as saddle poor Eleanor to the jackass. To be fair, he didn’t know for sure that the nephew was as resembling of a donkey as he was, but it was still shitty.
The lead up to them getting together was longer than the time spent with them together. I would have rather had this a full length book. The whole Second Kingdom was interesting but not explored thoroughly to make it nothing more than a tease. Give us orgies or give us death! I did like how he was conscientious of her losing her virginity because he had *experience.*
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5
