The best of the bunch
The theme is the same throughout out the series, except a regurgitated version with new names for the leading characters. There are some new characters/foe in each book.
The non original theme starts with a plethora of Dukes. All who are full of self-pity and total jerks. The females, despite their build-ups, are "complete wimps." It is basical how far you want me to bend? So you can kick me. Where do you want me to lie? So you can walk over me. They are not quite masochist. but they do seem to like enduring a lot of pain all in the name of "love." The eldest sister is the worst as she is anything but a "Siren" more of a "Doormat." Stop here. Don't waste any more money or credits.

So much potential
A duke on every corner and modern names are just some of the errors. A duke calls another duke 'mate' and 'tosser'. The dog at the wedding ceremony was also a bit overdone.
The story line had potential but was squandered.
The narrator was good.

Charming- but weak …
Even so the storyline is charming - the execution was a bit weak and lacking - the narrator was becoming better the longer she read …

Could have been better
Storyline was weak and very predictable. Definitely not a page turner or something you needed to keep reading to find out the ending.
