The Spring Bride by Anne Gracie
2.0
The Spring Bride
2 Stars
In one word - predictable. In fact, it is possible to read the beginning and the end and skip the middle entirely because there is nothing in this book that hasn't been done before.
Jane Chantry is the most beautiful woman in the world and men can't keep their hands off her - literally. She is also sweet, charming, and dedicated to taking in strays of both the human and animal variety. In short, she is a complete Mary Sue.
Zachary (whose other name is an important plot twist, so I will refrain) has an insipid and lackadaisical attitude toward life that is annoying in the extreme, and his covert operative in disguise persona is so ridiculous it amazes me that the French never sussed him out.
To top it all off, Jane and Zach have zero chemistry and the sex scene at the end is awkward and mechanical rather than sensual and intimate.
Overall, this is a disappointing addition to an otherwise engaging series. Daisy and Patrick's book is next and it will hopefully be an improvement.
