The Duke Is Mine (Fairy Tales, #3)

A bit much. I loved loved loved When Beauty Tamed the Beast, but this was more along the lines of A Kiss at Midnight. The heroine was relentlessly snarky. You know this person in real life: she is super annoying, because she NEVER takes a break and ALWAYS has to be the center of attention. There was no real connection between the leads beyond lust. I follow Eloisa on social, so I was not surprised by her homage to Justin Bieber, but all the silly names and pop culture references were exhausting.
Having read the teaser chapters before the book was released, I was also turned off by how scathing Olivia was about Rupert: it was just terribly sad, and kind of strange.

Anyhow, thanks for heads up. I wasn't crazy about the first book but have been wondering about the rest of the series but now I know I shouldn't even give it a try.
It's weird- people on Goodreads gave it iffy to poor reviews but people on Shelfari gave it great reviews.
Way to ensure the future irrelevance of your books. Tessa Dare's done this and it drives me nuts. By 2020 (NOT that far away!), the Old Spice reference will be as pop culture hokey as the Superbowl Shuffle.
