Review: Fun Whirlwind Romance
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 2, 2012
The earlier book in this series, The Ugly Duchess, featuring Griffin's cousin, James, received a pretty harsh review from me considering how much I typically enjoy Eloisa James books. The biggest thing was that I blasted James for his infidelity, especially when he initially appeared remorseless about it.However, even though Griffin was much more promiscuous than James, and just as married at the time, the infidelity in this story is off-camera and most importantly, before  the story begins. Plus, I think it helps that he and Phoebe never actually consummated their marriage to begin with. For some reason, it was much easier for me to get past it in this one.I really enjoyed this one. My biggest issue was the speed of the "romance". Phoebe and James literally known each other approximately 48 hours (even though they've been married over a decade), and they're bringing out the I Love You's before the novella ends? I've never been able to buy that sort of thing in romance, and this was no exception.Even so, this was a very well written, very entertaining novella that reminded me again why I enjoy reading Ms. James' works.A very solid 4/5 Stars.{This title was received free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
