emotional
3.75
An emotionally and physically scarred hero with a pragmatic but hopelessly in love heroine - what a delightful concept!
I really loved that this book focused more on working class people rather than the aristocracy as many historical romances do.

3,5 stars because Rhys made a lot of misogynistic micro aggressions towards Meredith about him not wanting her to work even though she clearly loves to. Luckily that was fixed in the ending but it came too late.
Also Meredith was right, why did Rhys keep telling!! Not asking!! For her hand in marriage??? That really annoyed me about him but I guess then it was revealed that he didn’t think she’d say yes and he felt a lot of guilt. BUT GUILT SHOULDN’T MAKE YOU WANT TO MARRY SOMEONE!! Ugh okay I think I’m done with my sorta rant. This took me a while to read because Rhys kept making me mad.
Was there passion? Yes, lots of it. But was there love? Yes, but I was not feeling it.
Meredith is very much a girl boss and I love her.
Also wtf that whole Darryl thing came out of nowhere??
