Hannah B.'s Reviews > The Boxing Baroness

*Mild Spoilers*

This wasn’t bad and clearly well researched…but man she was put through too much to make this truly enjoyable. The breakup was frustrating. The ending revolves all around Napoleon Bonaparte and I sure don’t care about him??? The duke was a dick at the beginning and I really didn’t like how he coerced her, even though it was understandable I guess.

Their chemistry was hot and the fact that he trained her for a while was great. I didn’t know the boxers had to sit on the knees of their trainers during matches and let me tell you HOT.

I wish the plot would’ve been more about her boxing and training and set in one location with a duke maybe pretending to be a trainer? There’s something interesting in the story…but I hate blackmail and it overshadowed everything else.

And then to make the Duke’s reasons for coercing her irrelevant…disappointing.

The audiobook was good and the book was hot but overall it was rather lackluster and long. I wanted Marianne to punch more people, mainly her duke. By the end I did like their relationship, and did like the side romances, although neither of those were closed up so I assume they’re the next books?
