Littensloveromance

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.11-12: So typical for Rory to show up when he thinks something might be in it for him. What a grifter! I hope Evie sees through him, before he ruins things for her. Now the duke, that‘s a nice distraction- but it‘s good she‘s trying to remain cautious in her feelings for him, & in her expectations. Cinderella stories don‘t honestly happen in the real world- HEA is a rare thing. But maybe she can allow a small amount of hope?

TheAromaofBooks Rory is even worse than I initially thought - purposefully stringing her along as a backup! What a jerk! 17h

TheSpineView Rory is a tool, douchbag, and mooch. I hope he gets everything he deserves. Time will tell 16h

mcctrish I am so mad at Rory @JenlovesJT47 @OriginalCyn620 @TheAromaofBooks 16h

LiseWorks The Duke has it bad. 15h

vonnie862 Aww...the kiss. Do it!!! I'm really enjoying the book. It's a welcome distraction. 14h

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.9-10: Well, there were tame shenanigans- touching hands without gloves, lingering glances, tripping into each other - but it did get them both hot and bothered. And then the duke avoided her all week! Boo. But I totally get why with his experiences. It‘s nice to see the attraction is on both sides though. Here‘s hoping they realize it sooner rather than later. I‘m also glad Evie is getting a bit of confidence. She needs it.

TheSpineView @mcctrish I think they both need to come to their senses. 2d

mcctrish @TheSpineView true @JenlovesJT47 I love it too 2d

OriginalCyn620 I‘m also glad the attraction is mutual! I love that the Duke is introducing Evie to new things - the fine clothes and champagne and such. That has to be fun for her! 2d

vonnie862 I'm enjoying their budding attraction. I think it's cute that they are flustered. 2d

BarkingMadRead I loved that he was losing interest in Helen, that could never end well 2d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.7-8: Shopping on a Duke‘s dime - must be nice (and she deserves it). But I‘m glad we established he‘s rich and not one of those aristocrats who‘s deep in debt (like so many were at the time) - Now we find that she can‘t dance - rather than having her scandalously join him at his empty house, why doesn‘t he just pay for a dance tutor? I sense some shenanigans might happen with them being alone.

mcctrish This story is just making me so happy 3d

TheSpineView I like that word, shenanigans. Maybe so. The Duke did say he had "lovers" after his wife died. I think he is too much a gentleman to do more than sneak a kiss. 3d

JenlovesJT47 I‘m enjoying this so far! Very cozy 🥰 3d

Kshakal I can‘t wait for the shenanigans that are surely afoot! 3d

vonnie862 And Evie was able to put those old school acquaintances in their place! 3d

LiseWorks Shanigans indeed! Getting excited at seeing her boots and garter. Oh my! 3d

OriginalCyn620 I love shenanigans! I‘m really liking Evie and the Duke. I hope they do get up to some shenanigans. 3d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.5-6: Evie certainly has rotten luck- I really hope her books will be okay.she‘s lucky more damage wasn‘t done. And Duke Max to the rescue with the insurance and with getting her a place to stay. How could she say no? I‘m also glad she realizes Rory is kind of a moron. The book he gave her - It reminded me of a gift I once got - so out of touch. I‘m glad she‘s smart enough to see that. Will he bother her at the Savoy though?

LiseWorks Oh I love the Duke 4d

OriginalCyn620 @LiseWorks Me too! He seems so great 😀 4d

vonnie862 Man, even I wouldn't turn down that offer. Now, Evie doesn't have to worry about staying with her cousin. 4d

TheSpineView The timing of everything was perfect. Max is turning out to not be so bad after all. I had to chuckle when Max stated all his titles. Would have loved to see the insurance guys face. Also, I'm glad that Evie is starting to see Rory's true colors. 4d

BarkingMadRead Ugh Rory may see this as an opportunity for himself, I hope she continues to see through him 3d

StayCurious @BarkingMadRead I worry he‘s going to show up at a bad time 2d

CrowCAH I loved how Max came to the rescue with the insurance man. Her books will be saved! 📚 12h

#LittensLoveRomance ch.3-4: The wager is made. At least the duke is telling Evie about it. I was worried we‘d have a “She‘s All That” scenario where the main girl is unaware of being played. At least in this way Evie gets a bit of a say - if she says yes. What could entice her to do this, I wonder? Maybe to show people she‘s capable? ⬇️

StayCurious And that she‘s better than what everyone else- including her cousin - thinks? At least she went to finishing school so the duke won‘t be starting from scratch. How Now Brown Cow… (edited) 5d

willaful @StayCurious lol! Honestly the set-up is kind of meh. Also, what was that about the letters to Oxford? Why did that even come up, it seemed completely unrelated to the actual bet. 5d

OriginalCyn620 I‘m glad the Duke was honest with Evie too. Maybe she‘ll do it just for the hell of it! But it‘ll probably be to get Rory‘s attention. 5d

TheSpineView I'm too am glad the Duke was honest. At least he sees her potential though I hate that women are seen only for their beauty, hosting abilities and of course as a broodmare. A sign of the times I guess. When the Men were discussing the wager it kind of seemed like it was a forgone conclusion that she would so along with the makeover. What if she hadn't. I also think that Marjorie visiting and saying a nanny is an excellent job for a spinster... 5d

TheSpineView ... will help the a Duke. I suspect Evie will do anything she can to avoid that possibility. 5d

StayCurious @TheSpineView I can‘t believe Marjorie said “we have a room ready for you in the attic” 5d

TheSpineView @StayCurious IK! Wirh family like that who needs enemies. 5d

LiseWorks I found the 3 boys so immature 🙄 and bribing a Duke to write a letter so they can gather back in Oxford? They got kicked out because of their attitude of laziness and partying. 5d

vonnie862 I, too, thought this was going to be like She's All That. But I'm glad Max is being honest. I also liked that he tried to put his friends in their place. 5d

BethM As much as I love She‘s All That, i don‘t want it as a plot point so i was glad he told her! 5d

CrowCAH I‘m glad he told her! Reminds me of My Fair Lady; one of my favs! 5d

JenlovesJT47 Very glad he was up front with her about it! 3d

#LittensLoveRomance: Ch.1-2: a refreshing start to this historical romance, set in the late 1800s. I appreciate that the duke‘s been married before (although that certainly is a sad story) and I appreciate that his cousin has a job and has been married 3(!) times. You can tell that society is not nearly as stringent as in say, an earlier regency romance. ⬇️

StayCurious Meeting Evie is a bit annoying - if only because she‘s clearly besotted with an idiot. Someone who will use his influence over her to get her to do things for him. He‘ll probably be a good politician now that I think about it. I hope she uses her common sense before she gets hurt. 6d

StayCurious @Kshakal @BarkingMadRead @TheSpineView @vonnie862 @julesG @maich @willaful @CrowCAH @Graciouswarriorprincess @OriginalCyn620 @mcctrish @LiseWorks @Read4life @BethM @Skygoddess1 @TheAromaofBooks @julieclair @JenlovesJT47 6d

mcctrish It honestly felt like we‘d been thrown in mid-story, Rory is an idiot, the Duke is a snob, his ‘friends‘ are worse! No more book manhandling please 6d

See All 15 Comments

StayCurious @mcctrish I‘m hoping for some real character growth haha 6d

BarkingMadRead I wanted to drop kick those dude bros. And also Rory. What a jerk 6d

TheSpineView I think we should just label them both what they are douchbags. At least Max apologies for his friends. In my notes, I wrote that Rory was a mooch and a lier. 6d

OriginalCyn620 I do like Evie though! Yes, she‘s crushing on a tool, but haven‘t we all at some point? 6d

LiseWorks Oh, the rich society of these days. These young pups are totally useless. Rory, as a politician, does sound like today's time. I'm not too fond of Evie. She sounds desperate at finding a husband to be looking at Rory. Or maybe she really doesn't know him anymore. Like he dropped out of school and went galavanting. 6d

vonnie862 I chuckled how the Duke saw Evie sticking her tongue out at him through the mirror. 6d

BethM @OriginalCyn620 yup! That‘s why we all wanted to punch him I think 😂 6d

willaful @LiseWorks I think it's hormonal. She seem a bit like a lovestruck teen.

I like that they're both starting out interested in other people, it could be fun to see them start to like each other 6d

rubyslippersreads Is it too late to join? I love bookshops, and My Fair Lady retellings are just loverly! 5d

StayCurious @rubyslippersreads welcome - we just started so not too late! 5d

CrowCAH What a great two opening chapters. Each is going after the wrong person, because we know how these romances work! lol 5d

julesG I'm sorry to say that I have only read the first two chapters so far, because I hate the Americanisms in the dialogue -yes, I am nitpicky like that. I tolerate it in descriptions, but I want my snobby English/British characters to speak the Queen's English. 🫣🫣 3d
