The Duke Who Knew Too Much (Heart of Enquiry, #1)
by
by
This story contained love, sex and mystery. The
story dragged in places.
Widowed Alaric (a duke) & Emma were the MCs. He
insisted on control in/ out of the bedroom, at times
bordering on obnoxiousness. He avoided innocent
women like Emma.
To a large degree the hero lived in the past, & scorned
the 2 deceased men who raised him. Hero & his half-
brother Will barely tolerated each other. He dreaded
vulnerability and love due to his insincere & faithless
1st wife. The hero compared all women to her.
Alaric came across as too cynical and brooding for my
taste. He & Emma made progress in their relationship
and then he'd shift geers and act chilly toward her. I
wanted the broody hero to take himself elsewhere and
work on a suitable grovel for his beloved. Poor Emma
never got a good grovel!

Oh I liked this one, I liked how he didn’t want anything to do with her at first, but she kept weaving herself into his path, and then he started to like her, and then eventually became super obsessed with her. I like a hero who can be obnoxious and a bit controlling but Is super protective of his girl, I don’t know I might be a bit of a submissive that why lol 😝 that’s why I liked Aleric with his BDSM fetish and Emma the innocent....well innocent-no-longer

Yona---Yesterday I added "good-grovel missing" in bookshelves of this review.
Hero was brooding, controlling & protective IIRC. But she deserved a grovel.
This would show he valued and appreciated her.
Thanks for your comments!
