My first Tessa Dare and I am blissfully in love. What a treat. The dialogue especially was *chef's kiss.* I just adored Emma and Ash and their story. 

I zoomed through this audiobook because it was so damn delightful. Mary Jane Wells is SUPERB.

I had an absolute blast with this book. One of the best reads I've had this year and one of my favorite romance books, which is saying something because there's some heavy hitters on my list. Great fun, great banter, highly rec

I judged this book by its cover and I was (mostly) wrong. While it was just as steamy as I expected, it was also funny and charming and heartfelt. Definitely not boring and cringe-worthy. This was both my first historical romance and my first Tessa Dare, and it won't be my last of either.

This was my first dip into Tessa Dare's books and the traditional romance genre and I LOVED it. I absolutely get what everyone is talking about when they talk about these books being a comfort read and I am officially in that camp. The characters are funny and open and honest and, most importantly, through all their flaws they seem kind. It was naturally very steamy so keep that in mind if you're picking it up. Otherwise, I'm so glad this was recommended to me as a beginner romance novel because I am hooked.
