Lord Braybrook's Penniless Bride

Heroine: It took me a while to figure out why this book was just meh. Then it hit me. I was really flustered by the main character. In the beginning of the novel, Julian kept repeating on just how feisty Christy was, but as the novel progressed, I couldn’t help but feel the complete opposite. Sure, she has a mouth on her, but I feel like she never really stands up for herself whenever Julian is involved.

Hero: As far as Julian goes, he’s nothing special for a male protagonist. I like that he’s quite close to this family – that’s always a plus, but I can’t think of anything particular that is striking about him.

Supporting Cast: I love Julian’s extremely large family. Davy was probably my favorite out of all the other siblings.

Plot: I do like governess-type stories, but I wasn’t a total fan of the ruse that led Christy to become a governess.

Romance: It was alright. Decent progression of the relationship with good tension. But not your epic romance. It’s nothing memorable.
