Plus there were some scenes that were almost a complete repeat of scenes from the first book. It left me with absolutely no anticipation of what was to come in the book. You know exactly what's going to happen next, exactly how the plot is going to end up. Once you read book one, there's nothing unique about book two other than a different H/H. Each book pretty much tells you the same exact there.
But otherwise? You could read just one and completely understand the story. All you would really miss would be few romantic scenes between whichever H/H. I don't think it would be quite wrong to say you could read just one of these books and know almost everything that happens. It figured that it would happen just as he was beginning to realize that maybe he did want to marry Amelia. As the only remaining heir to inherit, Thomas was raised to be Wyndham, and he was also betrothed at a very young age to Amelia Willoughby. And the second book focuses on the man who believed HE was the Duke - Thomas Cavendish. The first book tells the story of how Jack was the unknown, and probably legitimate, son of John Cavendish.and that if he was legitimate, he would be the true Duke of Wyndham. In the first book you get Jack and Grace's POV's about how Jack might actually be the true Duke of Wyndham, and in the 2nd book you get Thomas and Amelia's POV's. What makes the series unique is that the two books aren't just connected by character or theme they are actually simultaneously told. Mr Cavendish, I Presume is the 2nd book in the Two Dukes of Wyndham series.
So this one was a very weak 3-stars, probably more of a 2.5.
The gimmick of these two books - telling the same story from two different perspectives - just didn't work for me. I liked this one to a certain extent, but more often than not I found it really tedious to get through. But these two Wyndham books? They really should NOT be read back-to-back. When I can, I like to read books in a series close together.
