The Wicked Duke Takes a Wife ReviewThis book was just plain bad. I'm someone who finishes a book, no matter how terrible I'm finding it. This book made me sorely wish that wasn't the case.
The plot was all but non-existent with very poorly manufactured drama, little to no sexual tension, and characters that I felt no connection to whatsoever. I didn't get any sense of a growing attraction--let alone a relationship--between the main characters. I don't mind my romances with a lust/love at first sight motif, but I didn't get that from this story either. It seemed like there wasn't really a story at all - just an idea that got a thumbs up from the publisher and then got dragged out for 300 or so pages by the author.
And the tie-in to "Frankenstein"? Unnecessary and nonsensical. I also didn't understand Griffin being described as "wicked" or "dark". Am I supposed to buy that he's comparable to Frankenstein's monster because he looks mean when people first meet him? Or because he wasn't married yet (though he's constantly described as a "young duke")? All I surmised was that the author loves "Frankenstein" and made up a way to shove it into her "book."
I could go on about how much I didn't like this book (what was with the weird line somewhere near the end that Griffin thought Harriet blamed him for her father's death when there wasn't anything before that would make us think he was connected to that at all-and then the idea was never considered again after it crosses the "hero's" mind... it bothered me that I didn't know either character's age... I assume Edlyn will get her own book at some point but she was just a weird plot device in this one... my agreement with another reviewer that it seemed absurd that the main characters didn't even have a conversation about the differences in their stations...), but I think my point comes across and I don't want to sink to the level of vitriol-spewing.
I guess I'll just close with the point that I really am glad to see the positive reviews for this book--there's something out there for everyone. But I won't be buying any more Jillian Hunter books - just not my cup of tea.The Wicked Duke Takes a Wife OverviewFrom London's ballrooms to its sizzling bedrooms, award-winning author Jillian Hunter spins a seductive dance of desire and breathtaking romance.Lord Griffin Boscastle has no intention of ending his glorious career as a rakehell now that he has inherited a dukedom. Still, there are responsibilities he must discharge before his pleasures resume, including finding a bride, and depositing his incorrigible niece at a relative's academy outside London. It is at this so-very-proper finishing school that flame-haired instructress Harriet Gardner awakens in Griffin emotions so dangerously intoxicating that he must avoid her at all cost. Yet when Harriet finds work in the townhouse where Griffin resides, her presence tempts him at every turn.Harriet has survived London's streets far too long to let an arrogant duke woo a bride he doesn't want when she desires him for herself, and she has seen too much of life not to recognize a man ripe for redemption. But just as Harriet finds the perfect cure for His Lordship's devilish ways, a vindictive enemy intervenes, and the duke whom Harriet has plotted to save suddenly becomes her devoted protector.
