Love Letters from a Duke by Elizabeth Boyle

2.0

Two stars is unfair yet three seems too many. This book just wasn't well balanced and that is why I give it two stars. I really enjoyed the relationship between Thatcher and Felicity and the ease in which they can be around each other in peace or bickering. Either way there is an ease between them as they grow to love each other which I find interesting unlike the usual tension filled relationships. Yet, because of that ease I feel something more needs to happen to balance that out. Dealing with conventions of London society is too simple and considering it is apparently easy to get away with in this particular book it really can't count.
In the end I loved the characters and their relationship, it was different and fantastic to read them together or on their own. I enjoyed how they were drawn together and leanred to love each other despite precieved differences and through another means other than pure passion/attraction grows to understaind and love. No denying there's attraction but its not as present as the entertainment and enjoyment they have in each other's presence. The fantastic charismatic and entertaining fantastic characters of Thatcher and Felicity are sadly the only saving grace of this book. With a little bit more it could've been better.
