The Trouble with Anna by Rachel Griffiths is about a young woman, Lady Anna, who needs to marry Julian Lord Ramsay otherwise she will be left destitute. Anna loves living with her beloved grandfather and their horses. However, when her grandfather unexpectedly dies, she finds that her grandfather wrote in his will that unless Anna marries Lord Ramsay, she will inherit nothing and be destitute.
Lord Ramsay is shocked to hear the news and believes that Anna put her grandfather behind the scheme to marry him. However, it isn’t a ruse and Anna is just as surprised. She wants nothing to do with Lord Ramsay either, but as the pair are thrown together, they find themselves attracted to each other. Will Anna be willing to marry Lord Ramsay or will she fight for her independence?
The book was an okay read. It moved very slowly and there were portions where nothing happened. I did like some of the back-and-forth dialogue between the characters as they were witty and clever. There were a few parts where I even laughed at the commentary between the female characters. However, a few times, I found Anna to be annoying. She could be so bold and fight for what she believes, and then in turn shrink like a violet near Lord Ramsay and do or say silly things. I also found their romance to be a bit weird. Lord Ramsay seems to find Anna to be plain and silly and makes fun of her constantly, and then somehow is so besotted he can’t put two thoughts together. The book is billed as a spicy romance, but I didn’t notice any spicy parts. Just a lot of heavy making out between the pair. I found the entire book to be dull and didn’t care for any of the characters towards the end.
