I found Trent petulant and whiny - which are my two least favorite traits in a hero, which forced Adelaide to be alternatively strident and dull. The two just never really gelled to where I buy the HEA in AN UNCOMMON COURTSHIP.
Kristi Ann Hunter's writing is gorgeous, however, and I do appreciate how she weaves a very authentic faith into the characters. One never gets the impression that these books are meant to be evangelical - meaning, no one is going to switch faiths after reading this, necessarily. Instead, it's a book for those people of faith who want to see themselves on the page. It's a skill for sure and one Hunter excels at. Just because I did not enjoy spending time with Trent and Adelaide does not mean I'm adding her to the "Do Not Read" list. Contrarily, I'm excited to see where she goes next.
Book Summary
Life for Lady Adelaide Bell was easier if she hid in her older sister's shadow--which worked until her sister got married. Even with the pressure of her socially ambitious mother, the last thing she expected was a marriage of convenience to save her previously spotless reputation.
Lord Trent Hawthorne couldn't be happier that he is not the duke in the family. He's free to manage his small estate and take his time discovering the life he wants to lead, which includes grand plans of wooing and falling in love with the woman of his choice. When he finds himself honor bound to marry a woman he doesn't know, his dream of a marriage like his parents' seems lost forever.
Already starting their marriage on shaky ground, can Adelaide and Trent's relationship survive the pressures of London society?
