“Magic under the mistletoe…“One spectacular Christmas, Lady Perdita Selby, known to her friends and family as Poppy, met the man she thought she would love forever. The devilishly attractive Duke of Fletcher was the perfect match for the innocent, breathtakingly beautiful young Englishwoman, and theirs was the most romantic wedding she had ever seen. Four years later, Poppy and the duke have become the toast of the ton…but behind closed doors the spark of their love affair has burned out.
“Unwilling to lose the woman he still lust after, the duke is determined to win back his beguiling bride’s delectable affections…and surpass the heady days of first love with a truly sinful seduction.”
I finished this book at four in the morning because, by far, the second half of the book was the best. The prologue was amazing and it started out wonderfully overall, but it slowed down drastically. It also became a real challenge to follow the plot when there was something like four or five other plotlines that barely related to that of the main characters. I’m not saying that it was a bad book; it was just sometimes pointless to follow the other plotlines when they didn’t really relate to the story. I understand that the author was setting up novels to follow this one, but it might have been easier for the readers had she found a better way.
Overall it was a decent book and the end was well worth the wait. Some situations were wonderfully comical and I truly felt for Fletch. The two of them are so in love, but Poppy’s mother was—believe it or not—more that abnormally in the way. This book was a pretty good read and it was a bit of a change from what I’m used to reading.
