Simon is a rich, self-made businessman who's had his eye on the beautiful but undowered Annabelle for the last 2 years.
Annabelle is under mounting pressure to find a husband to help support her mother and brother, but despite her beauty, she has been unsuccessful these last 4 seasons without a dowry.
Simon and Annabelle's attraction is obvious by the way they argue and keep circling back to one another. Annabelle finally starts to realise there is more to Simon than the smirking, lower-class man she imagined him to be, and Simon decides that having Annabelle in his life exclusively will take more commitment than he was originally willing to make.
This book contains descriptive love scenes.

honestly this book had potential
i wasn’t a fan at the start of the whole ‘i’m obsessed with you but you’re not good enough to marry’ because that’s just a bit eh really
but i did like their banter and the chess etc it was very cute
however, once they got married the book turned to the most boring thing? like the honeymoon wasn’t exciting, family dinner wasn’t fun, there was a little bit of excitement at the very end which i will admit i liked but idk why the rest of it was dragged along
i understand she clearly wanted to show they weren’t in love before the big declaration at the end but who wants to read a couple not in love do things as if they were but not really with emotion because they aren’t?
i’ll definitely continue this series but i might have to take a lil break from historical romances for now ive read like a million in the past 2 weeks

Muy linda historia de amor, ligera, me encanto. (la protagonista muy pesada al principio). Ame el grupo de amigas, eso fue lo mejor del libro. Es libro ligero, bien escrito que volvería a leer y ya quiero leer los que siguen
I liked the characters, especially the female friendships and that has me considering reading the rest of the series.
But the story itself just seemed to drag. The beginning was good but then the second half just felt like a string of mini-climaxes. The actual “finale” was a bit bland.

I’m not sure why the first quarter of the book felt sooo hard to read. It started off and I would have DNF’d it had I not been sucked in bc of Hunt being so into her — I do love a man that has his eyes on the FML from day one. Plus I loved the Ravenels series so I pushed through.
After the 50% it was a lot more fun to read but compared to how much I enjoyed the Ravenels series I will say it wasn’t as good.
