This is the first book by this author that I’ve read, and I also only bothered reading the blurb because the dress on the cover is gorgeous!Īnyway enter Sophie, spoilt, dependent on her brother and who jilted her betrothed when she was 18. Why couldn't this book be a bit different than all the other chick-lit books out there, interesting but more like real life, more believable, more likely to happen?Ĭontinuing with my whole historical romance run is Trapping a Duchess. Michelle Beckemeyer, you are a woman, how could you write something so ridiculous? This is when I gave up on you. Isn't it normally the other way around? Woman chasing a guy? Man afraid of commitment and woman withdrawing sex in hope to trap a husband.? I was especially disappointed with the author after reading the more raunchy scenes: Andrew can make Sophie orgasm 2 times on average every time they have sex. He goes as far as to refuse to have sex with her unless they get married. There is every cliché going in this book: A guy desperate for commitment,woman who finds him so attractive and exciting that she can't help herself to seek him at every opportunity yet still adamant not to marry him.

I understand that it is only a work of fiction, but this book takes the word 'fiction' to whole new level. Or she does, but she doesn't know it.The main female character is of course beautiful,cute, charming, perfect, child-like, strong headed, so independent and above all so annoying I wish I could give her a slap to make her to come to her senses.

But he wants the one who doesn't want him.

Just another story, like thousand others, about an incredibly rich, very good looking guy (slightly arrogant but in a attractive way, you see?)that could have any woman he wants. If you are looking for something new, this is not it.
