Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Secrets of a Summer Night

There is definitely an odd choice in the pacing, that after the first two thirds of the novel changes completely, which could’ve definitely been a stylistic choice from the author. Signifying the slower and calmer approach to life the main character now has that her main goal, that had been driving throughout the entire book, wan now accomplished.
Despite that, I really enjoyed the beginning and the middle of the book, especially the non romantic relationship that the character formed throughout it. However, I do believe that the

the wedding was rushed and, as the author was keen to show us how Annabelle’s life changed now that her social status also changed, I wished we could’ve seen more of it and more in depth.

A group of wallflowers band together to find one another husbands and forge a beautiful friendship in the process. Secrets of a Summer night follows Annabelle and Simon and I just loved watching their relationship evolve. The story starts slow because you have to get the backstory on the four women and they need to come together to figure out their plan and set it in motion, but I feel like around the halfway point it really picked up.

Scenes where the hero has to take care of the heroine and she's just completely resistant? *Swoon*. And when Simon said to Annabell, "Sweetheart, I would take you to the ends of the earth if you asked," I literally melted. The end of the book set up the next story perfectly. I've already started it and can't wait to see what happens.
