And there is only one woman who can bring them to their knees… They are a dangerous duke, a fierce lord, and an infamous earl-dark, bold, brave men who know exactly what they want. Except we get this book blurb for All Scot and Bothered: The series description suggests it is heavily focused on three fiercely independent friends who call themselves the Red Rogues because of their red hair color. ![]() I barely remember the first book in this series, even after re-reading the blurb, the All About Romance review, and the first chapter. Note: There are spoilers for How to Love a Duke in Ten Days in this review. ![]()

Shuos Jedao is known for being a renowned general who destroyed his own fleet. (Her status as a lesbian woman rather narrows the list of comparable candidates.)

My heart hurt for what Phoenix went through at the start of the book. The story kept me engaged and I had a fondest for most of the people in the book. This book wasn't very dark (imo, but some of the story could be triggering for some. ![]() Overall a good read and I'm anticipating that I'll enjoy book 2 ever more so! Glad I don't have to wait too long for it because I'm dying to see how the author is going to play out the plot with the characters. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments A fire in the flesh book![]() ![]() ![]() Things start to pick up around 75%, or maybe a bit more, but by the time I was finally interested in what was happening, the book was over. When that’s not happening, it’s pages of inner monologuing about the same tedious things until you want to stab someone. While From Blood and Ash had a few action-filled and dramatic events to keep things engaging, this book mostly feels like a million pages of Poppy talking (and “not talking”) to Casteel and side characters. If I had to sit down and write a summary, I wouldn’t know where to start because, aside from an early kidnapping attempt and a mild skirmish while travelling, almost NOTHING happens for most of the book. I have no idea how to talk about the plot of AKoFaF. ![]() A VERY unpopular opinion, Plot, Wherefore Art Thou? Prepare yourselves for an unpopular opinion. To those who said this book was better than the first, you lied. ![]() |
