Dear Stranger

by Stella Cameron

The Curious Innocent

The last thing Lily Adler wanted to do was marry a man just for the sake of convention. Yet she wasn't completely immune to the charms of the opposite sex. With scholarly intentions, Lily set out to study the "male mysteries." But her impersonal examination of a handsome stranger would soon yield intensely personal results.

The Able Teacher

Oliver Worth came to England with a secret purpose: to clear his father's name. Working for Lily Adler's wealthy father provided just the guise he needed—until a slew of mishaps turned deadly. Someone didn't want the past revealed. And to make matters worse, Lily started asking questions that no proper lady should...leaving Oliver speechless and with no earthly recourse other than to show her how certain things worked.

[mari (givemaribooks) · Rating 2 out of 5]

The story and the fmc had lots of potential, and I liked some of the secondary characters like her friends, but the execution of the book was not great. The introduction of the fmc and her friends was great, and then the book went downhill form there. The relationship developed too quickly and it made no sense.

Spoilers:
They were hooking up right away, which was too fast for that time period and the fmc's inexperience. I also disliked the mmc and his gaslighting of the fmc whenever she was suspicious of him. She was right that he was hiding something and he kept making her think she was crazy for thinking that. She forgave him too easily.

Great Devil Manhua

[Laurie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A plain woman who considers herself a spinster at the ripe age of 25 and a mysterious, dark man who just happens to be recently employed by her father are thrown together in a quest to know the truth. There are others, some blatant and some secretive, who wish harm to come knocking on their doors. A fun read that keeps the reader guessing until late in the book.

I loved this book, maybe it was because it was "different" and written in another time, but I enjoyed!
