Not the Duke's Darling by Elizabeth Hoyt
3.0
(3.5/5) I want a sequel of Freya & Christopher’s story so please and thank you!! I surprisingly loved this book. I bought it at a target in Chicago at 9:30 pm cause I was bored in the city while my sister and her friends were out clubbing and I wanted something to occupy me! THIS WORKED! I always hated covers like these with the people on the front BUT I felt so drawn to this one for some reason! I’m glad the universe brought me to this great story! What a great way to start off 2019!
Honestly, the plot was very predictable and boring, however, it was Freya and Kester's relationship that made me fall in love with the story. There were numerous times where Hoyt wrote conflict just so there would be conflict. I also felt like the whole plot about the wise women should've been dragged out more. I wish we would've heard more about that witches mark on the Well House. The whole Scottish Witch Hunter plot was very lacking and I almost wish that it was more complex than it was.
This one could be a whole series just about the witch hunting in Europe during the 1700s and Freya and Christopher's life together because she is a Wise Woman. There were so many opportunities to make this an amazing novel. Now that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy this one, because I clearly did, however, it was pure entertainment. Some books you read to better yourself as a person and others you read because you want a quick entertaining read. I am not a changed person from reading this and that makes a lot of sense.
Some of the histories were off which was upsetting but not a big deal if you don't care about that stuff. I'm minoring in history so it's important to me. Like I said, It was entertainment, not a life-changing read.
I am looking forward to continuing the series with the next Greycourt novel in 2019
