First off, Vivienne Lorret is legitimately one of my very favorite authors. Her books create worlds that I don't want to leave, and find myself still thinking about days later, wishing I could unread them just to experience them again for the first time. I've probably re-read her books more than any other romance authors, just because I love them so much.
I had already pre-ordered The Wrong Marquess when I received an e-ARC, and I'm so glad that I did. There are some books that you just want to have a physical copy of, just to have them, and this is one.
Elodie Parrish has been waiting for her impulsive neighbor to propose for years. All her plans hinge on him being the one. When her path crosses again and again with Brandon, the Marquess of Hullworth, however, she starts to wonder if her plans are so concrete, after all.
In all romances, the main characters have to be right for each other (obviously), but Lorret creates characters that are just so perfectly perfect for each other, and it's amazing. In The Wrong Marquess, Ellie is a worrier, and is anxious about things a lot. Brandon, who is "odious and overbearing", however, sees through her insecurities and gently helps her overcome them.
One of the things I think Lorret does best is the pining hero. In quite a few of her books the hero is doing some serious longing, and honestly it's like catnip to me - give me alllll the yearning!! Brandon is *sigh* so amazing.
I loved this book so so much, and can't wait for the next installment in this series.
Thank you to NetGalley and Avon/HarperCollins for the ARC! (Note that this in no way affected my review, all opinions are my own.)
