But I was expecting that before reading this.

Is it farfetched for a historical? Yup, you bet. The coma aspect didn't bother me because again.the movie. And the things she did change I honestly wish she hadn't. It's a regency interpretation of the story so of course some things were obviously tweaked but Sophie Jordan missed the beats and hit the wrong notes. And this fell very short in comparison unfortunately. Since this is a very obvious retelling of the beloved romcom While You Were Sleeping, it’s hard not to draw comparisons while reading this. This wasn't what I was hoping it would be. Or how much Struan wants her for himself. There’s no way the haughty Duke of Autenberry would deign to wed a working class girl. Just like he knows the infuriating Poppy is a liar. the fantasy of her duke or the reality of one smoldering Scot who challenges her at every turn.Īn illegitimate second son, Struan may have built an empire and established himself as one of the wealthiest men in Britain, but he knows he will always be an outsider among the ton. Soon Poppy isn’t sure what she wants more.

But one person isn’t fooled: his arrogant and much too handsome half-brother, Struan Mackenzie. After she pulls him to safety, the duke lapses into a coma and Poppy is mistaken for his fiancée. unlike the carriage Poppy spies bearing down upon the unsuspecting duke. Shop girl Poppy Fairchurch knows it’s pointless fantasizing about the Duke of Autenberry.
