Dirty English by Ilsa Madden-Mills
5.0
5 Dragonflies...
I hid the major spoiler but there are spoilers throughout!
Wow, wOw, WOW.
Meet my Declan Blay:
Meet my Elizabeth Bennett:
This book was amazing!!! I was not prepared for this..AT ALL.
Mr. Declan "Dirty English" Blay:
Elizabeth suffered horribly on a night that should have been one she'd remember for the rest of her life.
The injustice she faced was so hard to read about! I love that Ilsa Madden-Mills touched on such a prominent topic in this day and age.
CONSENT.
Many people don't discuss how many people believe it isn't rape if the girl had consumed alcohol and drugs.
She was broken beyond repair and didn't believe in falling in love. She gave up on her dreams because she lacked the drive to create.
I also loved how Ilsa took the trope of "getting the other on the same page with you" and turned it on it's hilt. It's usually the girl fighting for more but NOPE!!! Declan knew he wanted her so he told her what he wanted and she needed to find herself on the same page without being cajoled or coerced.
This book. THIS BOOK!!!
I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good love story with two people who deserved their happily ever after. The writing was really good and the story was well paced. I love how everything was needed. You know how there are times where you feel that you can skim things in a story? Well, I never got that feeling! I loved her writing and I really hope Declan's twin, Dax gets a book!!
One thing that touched my heart was the blue dragonflies. It was so sweet that Declan thought that his mother was with him in the big moments of his life in the form of a Dragonfly..Declan...I love you.
