Review: Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover by Sarah MacLean
Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover is the last book in this historical romance series. I thought this was a really good conclusion to the overall series. I can in no way recommend reading this review if you have not read the previous three novels.
I really loved the characters of this book. Georgiana is an excellent heroine, I really like the way her character explored the power women could have in this time period and how that power could only rally exist when the men in these women's lives allowed it. She is also dealing with being socially ostracized for having a child before she is married. Her relationship with her daughter is really sweet and I think the amount of page time the kid has is very appropriate for the romance to be to focal point while not treating this girl as unimportant. The hero is my favorite of this series. He is MacLean's first foray out of the aristocracy, though he is a powerful rich person.
We begin this book knowing Georgiana's secret but Duncan does not know. I do think that the book took too long before Duncan figured out the secret which made the middle drag a little bit. It seemed unrealistic that it would take this man this long to put these pieces together, but also it did effect to emotional arc of this story. I though the beginning and the end were great but the middle was a little flat. But truly, I was obsessed with this ending.
Reading this having read Bombshell already I can see a lot of similarities between these two books. MacLean handled similar character dynamics in both books.
I gave this book four stars.
