The Right Kind of Rogue by Valerie Bowman
4.0
✨Huzzah for hiccups✨
This one was a hell of a ride. I thought I was going to get a slightly angsty but overall light best-friend’s-brother read. Instead, I got a book filled with schemes and plots and questionable characters.
This is a little more than a three star read because I was hooked by the end and needed to see how it all played out. I do wonder why the whole family feud was such a secret like all of those parents are terrible people and it’s not hard to suss that out. I also really liked the hiccup scene and Hart’s quick thinking. I did kinda balk at their relationship because he really did only notice her when she had nice things. I know they kissed before but I dunno he didn’t care enough to even ~deign~ marrying her because she was so lowly. The whole dowry thing was also odd. Like the father really doesn’t have a say does he? He’s not going to disown his heir and they’re rich enough. I guess I just really wanted the love to feel more natural and deep-seated.
I found Hart’s anger pretty righteous and I was pumping my fist right along with him at times. Lucy was seriously misguided and made me very mad. I really didn’t appreciate that whole plot line. I suppose I didn’t mind the whole marriage-in-crisis because it was fun and interesting but I still didn’t like the intentional trap. I think Meg was more guilty than the characters finally believed. However, when we saw Hart with M.T. I saw red. Men really suck don’t they.
It ended well though and I loved the grand-gesture moment!! I always want scenes of that scale and truths of that volume to happen and they rarely do. Giant “fuck yous” like that to one’s enemies make me feel all warm and fluffy inside. Little red hearts surround my smiling face as I type.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5
