This is a fun throwback to my childhood love of Choose Your Own Adventure books. Utterly predictable plots with an assortment of dreamy men (and women) to have romantic adventure with.

It’s silly but exactly what is advertised.

At this point I've gotten I think most of the endings that involve Benedict (my fav bachelor), so I feel competent to comment on it.

This is mad fun. It's ridiculous and bawdy at times, silly and charming at others. As a long time fan and reader of romances from the Regency era I found a lot to be familiar tropes - the dragon dowager, marriages of convenience, seedy theatre type folk, secluded corners and potted plants large enough to hide you from view as you passionately make out.

Regency England had A LOT of large potted plants that enabled you to hide behind for trysts.

The writers also had a lot of fun with the flowery language of the old and current books. "Her dewy core", "a sheath for his sword"...yeah sounds about right. It's amazing how many words can be used to described the act of sex.

The book doesn't pretend seriousness-not when your life is in danger (roll for seduction wiles!) or the poor souls the heavily brogued Mac wants to help save.

As a CYOA type book it can feel disjointed, as some paths/choices lead to the same establishing outcome, but largely it's just good fun and who doesn't need that?
… (mer)

My bookclub did this as a fun read. The best part was the discussion we had and comparing our paths and endings through the book. Not a deep read and I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it just reading it on my own, but great for a group.
