The Duke Goes Down. I am a fan of this author and usually find her work to be reliably entertaining and well crafted. But this book is baffling. The writing style is completely unlike her previous novels. The main characters are unlikeable, their initial bad behavior is never explained or justified. The h in particular - although described as a town do-gooder with a heart of gold - wages a vicious rumor campaign against the H for very thin reasons, and doubles down when confronted. Their romance is inexplicable and lacks chemistry. The H’s sudden acceptance of the change in his life’s circumstances and status is barely explored. A 4th act revelation appears out of nowhere, with no hint of foreshadowing and should impact the plot much more than it does. There’s also a lot of verbatim repetition of thoughts, feelings, conversations - possibly to increase word count. Disappointing, but not typical of the authors usual fine work.

Not sure what happened here. Even making allowances for the creativity-destroying pandemic doesn’t explain why this book is so bad. Unlikable characters, nonsensical plot lines, and awkward prose doom this book. I know the author and editor are better than this.

Not author’s best effort. No coherent plot, actually no plot at all. Heroine was nasty person and really just not likeable at all. Very disappointed because this author is capable of much better work. I feel she wasted my time with this book.

Very Enjoyable Story. I liked this story! The initial description interested me enough to ignore the negative reviews and I’m glad I did. Did some of the internal dialogue repeat in different chapters? Yes, sometimes, but not enough to ruin the story. I enjoyed the chemistry between the lead characters. And for anyone who has been bullied or know someone who has been bullied, the heroine’s decisions for her actions made complete sense. Maybe a little petty, but understandable given the back story and realistic to what imperfect people do. I love this author and although this isn’t my favorite book of hers, it was still very enjoyable.
