Title: Not Quite the Thing
Review: This wasn't a terrible book but it was so full of trope that I almost had to force myself into reading it. Lady spies saving their male counter-parts, Capulet and Montague esque family bickering, and page after page of Big Misunderstandings. The secondary romance was tantalizing but should not have been there. I found myself caring more about the Duke and Jane than I did about the main H/h. But since they were not the primary most of their action happened off-stage and was spoken about later which I found frustrating. The book had potential but every plot device was glossed over rather than explained. It was a most frustrating read.
