I loved the first in the series and this is just as adorable. I love queer historical fiction that’s very light on the history 😬. I enjoyed the characters, fell in love with them and rooted for them. There was smut but it was soooo far at the end of the book. Good smut though. I’ll probably continue with the series. Queer love stories have me so happy right now.

Twas good! I didn't love it as much as the first in the series, and the political plot was a little confusing because I didn't really know what was going on. But Agatha and Penelope were pretty cute.

This book was really nice. I didn't love it as much as the first book in the series but it was still really enjoyable. It's a slow-burn sapphic romance between a beekeeper and a widow. It took me a while to get invested in the characters and the romance but I definitely was in the 2nd half. There were so many lovely, tender and sweet moments. One of my biggest issues is that there were some plotlines that were quite a big part of the book that weren't the romance. This is kind of a me problem cause obviously people often like that. I just like my romances to be really focused on the romance. But overall, I'm really happy I finally read this book.
