While this book included both love/lust at first sight and a third act breakup, neither of which I’m a fan of, I did really like both Penny and Gabriel. Also Tessa Dare is a banter QUEEN.

Penny and Gabe are such a good Duo. They're so opposite but work so well at the same time. Tessa knows how to write a funny, Swoony and beautiful story. Gabe has a bit of a past but is doing very well for himself but is trying to deny Penny. While Penny has a long list of animals who lives next door and it’s a nuisance for the property he wants to sell. So Gabe helps Penny with organising safe and loving homes for her animals. But he can’t resist Lady Penny for long.

The parrot storyline had me in hysterics. Best comedy moment in a while.

This was so good. I read it in under 24 hours! I loved the tropes it had but also that it didn’t rely on them too much. I loved the cameos and characters from other books. The conflicts felt realistic and in-character. The fmc’s conflict that is revealed made sense and hit me emotionally.

it reminded me very much of should’ve, could’ve, would’ve😢

My only issue is that I felt the fmc forgave the mmc too fast at the end but to be fair he did work for it.

5.0

Animals:
-Bixby, a two-legged terrier
-Marigold, a nanny goat "of unimpeachable character, who is definitely not breeding"
-Angus, a 3yo Highland steer
-Delilah, a parrot who isn't from a brothel (what's she saying, "Want a foxglove?")
-Hubert, an otter (not a ferret)
-Freya, a hedgehog (and not the best accessory for a night at Almack's)
-13 kittens

Everyone's back in the one, I loved Chase and Ash's dynamic. The three men trying to help the goat give birth was easily one of the funniest scenes in the series so far. And Chase's wards are morbid flower girls.

This book seems like it should have an illustrated cover. I LOVED IT SO MUCH HOLY SHIT??!!

I've never, ever picked up historical romances. Historical fiction in general is not my cup of tea. HOWEVER. If you drop a novel with two gorgeous leads with hearts of gold and ANIMALS??? I have been won over.

The fact that Penny is the definition of a strong, independent woman while also representing her "times" is so amazing.

The only thing I didn't quite like is how quickly the romance bloomed in Gabriel's point of view. One chapter, he was thirsting over her physically (valid) and the next, he was head over heels. It honestly gave me whiplash and took away a little of the magic from the development of their relationship

Nevertheless, I loved it and enjoyed it and I am definitely picking up more of Tessa Dare's novels.

Spice: 🌶🌶🌶🌶
SO GOOD. Classic sex scenes, a mirror scene *wiggles eyebrows* and a loooooot of slow burn.

P.S.: my spice ratings are a new thing and I am mainly rating off of ✨vibes✨ and don't have an actual scale.
