3.5 stars!

This definitely got better by the halfway mark!
I wasn't much into both main characters until they started showing their true personalities and vulnerabilities. I'm guessing the plot and characters needed to warm up to me. =)

Say No to the Duke is the 4th book in the The Wildes of Lindow Castle series.
It's a love story and friendship between a wounded soldier, Jeremy Roden who suffers from PTSD and the guilt of having all of his men die in war and he's left standing.

The woman who saves his heart and soul is Lady Betsy Wilde. She's trying to be anything else then her mother who ran away with her lover, leaving her heartbroken children behind. She not only caused a huge scandal with the ton but Betsy has been trying to escape her shadow her whole life.

I thought the side characters in this were well done and had different voices. The dialogue was witty and I ended up really enjoying the love relationship after all.

I'm looking forward to finishing up the series.
Recommended to fans of historical romance. I have enjoyed many Eloisa James books so far and this was no exception!
