The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . THE VISCOUNT CAN WAIT (The Reluctant Brides, #2) . . . This was just too easy to put to the side. I was conflicted with a few of the events that took place within the pages. I worked to look past them and was drawn back to the current events of today. I am aware that during the time period of this romance that things took place differently, but I am having just a bit of a hard time separating then and now.
The writing was good, the character development was good, the originality of the read was just a bit too close to events that are not so pleasant. the connection between the two main characters was there but at what cost to the young impressionable mind of a 16 year old girl. Then to just be wanted for what lies beneath her skirts. She's a widow now so this should all be okay. This was not quite the direction I was looking for when I began this read that took me over three weeks to finish reading. I found no real or perceived intellectual depth to this read.

After five years away, Lady Eliza Cartwick isn’t relishing returning to the whirl of the London season. But the young widow knows to ensure the best future for herself and her young daughter Rosa, she must remarry. If only Lord Evanston, the dashing rogue who has haunted her dreams since she was sixteen, didn’t insist on distracting her with his searing looks and lingering touches at the most inconvenient times…
Thomas, Lord Evanston has wanted Eliza since her engagement ball all those years ago. His best friend’s sister has constantly been out of reach…until now. The forbidden has always tempted him, but when Thomas realizes he wants the object of his fantasies for far more than a dalliance, he must convince her that he’s not just a rake; he’s a viscount who’s worth the wait.
