Working through the reasons they've hated each other for the past three years isn't easy, especially not while writing a romantic novel. There was so much fluff about how to get in the mood to write and how to avoid the co-protagonist that hardly any loving was actually happening. While some enemies to lovers scenarios work well (think The Hating Game), The Roughest Draft was more arguing than romance. The last thing they ever thought they'd do again is hole up in the tiny Florida town where they wrote their previous book, trying to finish a new manuscript quickly and painlessly. Overall, my least favorite aspect of this book was the constant bickering.

Altogether, my fundamental problem here is that this book lacks any kind of depth it’s a very paint-by-the-numbers Regency “historical fiction” with a romance thrown in, and you can really feel that reading it. It’s nowhere near immersive or detailed or atmospheric enough to really evoke its historical setting (Regency London), and its romance is so lackluster and poorly developed that it can barely even be called a romance. The plot is just kind of… there, moving us from one scene to the next, with little tension or excitement or literally anything that would make you invested in what’s going on.Ī Lady’s Guide to Fortune-Hunting tries to be a historical fiction and a romance, and succeeds at neither. ![]() ![]() And I would’ve forgiven it its simplistic characters if it maybe had some interesting character interactions or dynamics, but no, that’s nowhere to be found either. The characters’ personalities and motivations are painfully simple: Kitty is the Scheming One Who Needs to Find a Husband, Lord Radcliffe is the Uptight One Who Wants to Foil Her Plans, Arthur is the Lovable Idiot Who Feels Abandoned by His Brother. I won’t mince words here: this was a very, very bland book, not a single shred of personality to be found anywhere. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is illustrated by the BAFTA winning Brothers McLeod.
