Taming of the Duke Book

This was supposed to be the book where the bitchy sister is redeemed and we end up liking her and wanting her to have a happily ever after. And, although I was okay with her ending up okay, I just hated this book so much that I didn't really care. It was stupid. And, I mean, seriously stupid.


Expert level achieved..

So, Imogen, her royal bitchiness, decides to become a slut and wants to have sex with her guardian's brother. Half-brother. But, her guardian wants in on all of that, so he goes along with this 'affair' pretending to be the brother. Did I mention he's only a half-brother, not a twin? Yup. He wears a fake mustache and hat, so she can't possibly know that it's him.



And, she has been living with her guardian off & on for over a year. She has even helped bathe him when he was sick. So, either she is the most unobservant person on Earth who can't tell the difference between two different people's voices, or she is stupid. I vote for stupid.



And, the guardian is a real piece of work himself. First of all, if she is fooled by the disguise, he should not have sex with the mentally handicapped. Secondly, if she is fooled by the disguise, he should not have sex with someone while pretending to be his brother. But he does. Twice. And, again, how does he get away with this disguise while naked and sweating over her?



While this idiocy is going on, we also have the pleasure of them putting on a play. And, going to plays. I guess the author needed to fill some pages because we get to read pages and pages of these plays being rehearsed, performed, copied down into scripts, etc... In other words, when it wasn't stupid, it was boring.



Yup, I would recommend suicide before I would recommend this book.
