I loved Emma! She was truly fearless and honest with what she wanted. Ash was reserved but

he eventually came around and I don't think he would have if it wasn't for Emma giving him a lot of encouraging words and affirmations.

Truly a cute love story!

This was a delightfully modern take on the Regency romance. Instead of a virginal shrinking violet, the heroine Emma is a more feminist imagining of a protagonist, with more agency and more nuance than you might find otherwise. Ashbury, the hero, is equally as nuanced, although kind of a jerk (trauma does not excuse poor behavior). The awkward situations the author puts these two in were very amusing, and the blossoming feelings left me charmed. While funny, I think some of the humor detracts from emotional moments in a record-scratch-type deflation of tension that I wasn't a fan of. The plot was a little bizarre but if you can suspend your disbelief, this book is a great time.

Although I had a lovely time reading this book. I know once it’s placed on my shelf I won’t think about it again.

A cute fun romance that was a worthy introduction to Tessa Dare! I had high expectations but it hit most of them. Had a fair share of both fluff and spice.
