Book Review: The Traitor’s Club: Hugh by Laura Landon

A short, easy and enjoyable read, book 2 of “The Traitor’s Club: Hugh” tells the story of a series of unrelated events that if they were taken individually, it would have not mattered in the grand scheme of things. But, because they followed one another, two of the unlikeliest people to be a couple found themselves married.

And they should have lived happily ever after… But, no, they did not. Hugh Wythers and Lady Annalise Lyman still found themselves in a quandary even after the I do’s.

“The Traitor’s Club: Hugh” is not your signature Laura Landon romance which are usually full of dramatic twists and turns. With Hugh and Annalise, Landon cleverly incorporated laugh out loud funny moments that more than just comic relief. Those moments are actually pivotal.

But don’t worry. Hugh and Annalise will tug at your heartstrings like most of Laura Landon’s protagonist. Even in this drama-comedy, Landon’s writings make readers empathize with the lead characters, demonstrating once again her mastery of her craft.

I’ll reiterate. “The Traitor’s Club: Hugh” is a short, easy and enjoyable read. Read it during lunch or on your commute on the train. The book is Rated T for Teens due to some adult situations. The sex scenes in this book are implied and not graphic.
