When You Wish Upon A Duke (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
More like 2.5 stars...I received this book through the review program over at netgalley. I originally put it down after the first couple of chapters and did not plan on finishing it. The story is set in mid-18th century England. As a fan of eighteenth century fiction (ie Jane Austen), I had a very hard time accepting the main characters, Charlotte and March, as a true eighteenth century characters.I did end up picking the book up a second time (well, opening it on my kindle) because I was looking for a quick, easy, and mindless read. Charlotte’s character still bothered me but I finished the book this time. The book did get better. I actually ended up liking the storyline enough to enjoy the book. Bradford introduced a decent (although sad) backstory to explain aspects of March’s character that were plausible and added to the story.When You Wish Upon a Duke was enjoyable enough. I don’t feel like I wasted my time reading it. I enjoyed the book enough that I know I will find the time to read the other Isabella Bradford romance that I received from for review.While this isn’t a book that I would recommend for everyone, if you enjoy romances, you just might like this book. Perhaps if I was in a more patient & romantic mood, this book would've made me sigh a bit. Unfortunately, I started reading this book during a non-romance phase and just found myself getting bored with the characters. It was just TOO lovey dovey, if that makes sense? I do like how Charlotte and March first meet. That was a great scene! But everything after that point just went downhill for me.
