Huxtable Quintet
review 1: There is no wager the notorious Baron Montford cannot win.On his 25th birthday „Monty“ agrees to a wager most scandalous. He ist to seduce the innocent, virtuous Katherine Huxtable within a fortnight. He has her willing and defenseless long before his time runs out but then his better sense takes over and he deliberately looses his wager. Katherine is most humiliated because of what had happened – or rather barely happened – between her and Baron Montford in Vauxhall.They do not see each other for three whole years but the passion that had been kindled that night never dies and becomes a hungry, passionate flame when scandal and society force them into marriage....I fancied the handsome, wicked, seductive hero, who beneath the smiling mask hides some dark secrets, ... moreand thought that the wise, moral, secretly naughty Katherine was the perfect wife for him! Their story is a sweet, humorous and romantic one. It was a throughout enjoyable read! :)
review 2: This book is definitely a matter of taste. Balogh's writing is good and there was nothing "wrong" with the book. My issue was that it's very fluffy and there's little to no action. Lots and lots of discussion of semantics and cute banter. I like kittens and towels to be fluffy, but prefer my entertainment to be more edgy or at least extremely witty. I was quite honestly bored out of my mind. I don't want to spoil it, but will say this. If you read the book description you may think this is about a H who seduces the h on a bet, falls in love, and then has to deal with the consequences when the secret comes out. Lots of angst, heroine leaves him and he has to fight to get her back kind of scenario. Nope not really. The H was a much more decent guy than the description leads one to believe. In real life I'm all for that. In fake life I prefer someone ruthless that I love/hate. less
