I really enjoyed this book! I liked the characters and the premise of the story. I liked that there was Spanish and Gaelic easily added in and you could pick up the meanings from context. And there was a mix of representation which is lovely to see! I'm very excited to read the spinoff sequel since I saw it is sapphic.

My only criticism is that this heavily relied on the two characters just not talking to each other which is something I struggle with... it makes me very frustrated as the reader. BUT I still thoroughly enjoyed the fake marriage trope.

This was so delightful! Adriana Herrera’s talent for writing just leaps from the page. The flow and pacing are effortlessly propulsive, the characters are so charming, and the romance had me GIGGLING.

What a treat to read, can’t recommend this enough!

What a fun and sexy romp. So steamy, and I can’t wait to read the next one! I liked this one a lot more than Mangoes & Mistletoe.

My bi panic was raging 😤 how could I choose between a sexy, caring Scottish Earl and a strong willed, smart beautiful Rum heiress?! This was a fun, easy read and I can’t WAIT for the other books. I think were set up for A SAPPHIC ONE!!! 😭

Oh this book was perfect! I could not put it down. I loved the independence of the main character. I love a man that loves that about her and helps her with her business. I love the smut! I love his descriptions of her and how she moves him and changes his heart. I love that it’s not wrapped up in a neat bow but they work through every misunderstanding. It’s just a super great romance, basically the ideal romance book in my eyes. And that’s saying a lot because all I do is read romance. You have to read this book.
