Between the Devil and the Duke by Kelly Bowen
Here’s a shocker: the story becomes pretty good when the heroine doesn’t have to make big decisions anymore.

The best thing about this one is that the heroine never followed through in bringing on the catastrophic stupidity.
If you have seen the trailer, you have basically watched the whole movie already.
Like every romance author who wants to be seen as legit, here’s another one doing her compulsory take on the My Fair Lady thing.
Solid, action-packed, exciting, and full of people getting burned or blown up – how nice. Strong female leads are just icing on the cake.
They claim that this is a terrifying story that relooks at how we perceive violence. The operative word here is “claim”.
This one leaves me with heavy, hooded eyes as I try to stay awake.
This is a story powered by the heroine’s impressive victim complex and her inability to stop bumbling and bungling things up.
There is a great, inspiring story in here… buried under excessive “creative liberties” and lazy caricatures.
The heroine is supposed to be a bad-ass assassin, but she’d probably better off being a secretary or something else more suited to her actual skills.
