Because when I just want to read something fun, Tessa Dare is my go-to.
I don’t normally read “romance” novels, but I enjoyed this one.

The premise was far-fetched but alright. The hero and heroine were closer as kids than she was with his brother to whom she is betrothed and who is MIA.
The hero's friend was hilarious. And I loved their first kiss scene. I thought now this is how you do a pouring all my decade-long unrequited love and passion into a first kiss that slowly becomes a make-out session.
But after that, the steamy scenes appeared less passionate and more over-the-top and one was just plain disgusting. He becomes too much of an a-hole to be liked.

I had high hopes...but
Clio and Rafe, in addition to the side characters, were amazing. Clio had great character development. Menta health representation was interesting. Unfortunately they were burried under a messy plot and unnecesary scenes. This book would have been so much better if it was a 100 pages shorter.

This felt like it dragged on. It's very simple just tell piers you don't wanna marry him!
I actually liked the premise of this book because we do not see often a story about the second son who is not a wealthy aristocrat but an educated rebel plus in this case a prizefighter. That was a nice change, I didn't even mind the trope of a "falling in love with my brother's intended" because his brother appears only at the end and he is obviously not in love with the heroine.
However, this is also one of Tessa's silly books, in which she overextended the modern language, ridiculous dialogues and fillers. Because of that I couldn't enjoy the chemistry between the main characters and the ending was too cheesy.
