This has officially become my favorite Tessa Dare! I loved Penny and Gabriel and the growth of their relationship. I loved the agency that Penny had and how equal their relationship felt. Definitely some more difficult parts when dealing with each of their pasts, but Tessa Dare handles it with care.

I laughed out loud so many times listening to this book. Tessa Dare HOW ARE YOU SO DELIGHTFUL. That last line especially had me cackling. 

I just love this series. I love the way these couples all fall in love with each other, the ways they show up for each other, the way they are so damn hot for each other. 

I loved how this story talked about the historical romance trope of being "ruined" and rejected it; all the animals shenanigans that roped in all three men from the series (Gabriel, Ash from The Duchess Deal, and Chase from The Governess Game--seriously, the scenes with the three of them were some of the best); the care Penny gives to everyone around her, human and animal, so of course she would be able to love someone as "beastly" as Gabe.

Fairly forward descriptions of grooming and molestation of the main character in the past when she was a child.
