the little bookish

Too Wicked To Wed is the first book I read written by Cara Elliott. The story is very interesting and intriguing. I couldn't stop flipping the page and stayed awake to finish the last remain of the story.

The book's a love story with some bits of mystery between Connor and Alexa. Connor Linsley, the Earl of Killingworth or also known as Irish Wolfhound - is a very well-known notorious rake, one of the Hellhounds, owned a gambling and brothel called The Wolf's Lair, very handsome but deadly and dangerous, and he's a husband to Lady Alexa Hendrie or Lady Killingworth now. As for Lady Alexa, she's a plain country girl with admirable curiosity and knowledge, straightforward, high-spirited, and kind.

I enjoyed their romance immensely. They are sweet and passionate with each other. I also enjoyed their banter and it was fun reading about Alexa tried to break the wall between them. I saluted her effort to get to know her husband and her determination to do anything to show her love. Lord Killingworth is just one lucky man. I totally agreed with Cameron Daggett or Bloodhound (also one of the Hellhounds) that Connor should be grateful to have a wife like Alexa.

Besides, I liked the mystery. One of the reasons I managed to read this book till end despite dull at some parts of the story. However, I wasn't that impressed with the reason the Earl's life in danger. I was expecting something more challenging. I expected something to do with competition, rivalry or vengeance.

Anyway, I'm very interested to keep pursuing this series and I'm looking forward for the next installment! Okay, that's all. Au revoir!
