A review by adrienne_adrimano
Anything but a Gentleman by Elisa Braden
3.0
This novel had a strong basis and some nice moments between the main couple and the secondary characters. This book was a slow burn. No, not just because of when they finally did the deed, but the affection and warmth between the main characters came later in the book. For example, it was still a while after he stopped avoiding Augusta (he didn't want to want her) when he finally started calling her by her pet name. There just weren't enough scenes and dialogue between Augusta and Sebastian for me.
Even though the book had, I still didn't get a 4-star experience.
