3.5 stars. I really enjoyed this book in most places. I think there was too much insta-love for me, and some parts were too drawn out. I will say there were several lines that made me giggle and several that were just so darn good and clever. I already read the first chapter of the next book in the series and I think I'll enjoy that one more.
I will admit, I don't think I've ever read any other types of Romance novels except Paranormal. But a chance review on Avon's website caught my interest, and I started this new series by Tessa Dare. And it didn't disappoint!! If it puts it in to perspective, I read all the books that were out in the series in a weekend, I couldn't put my Kindle down!
I love the premise behind the entire series of Spindle Cove. A place where 'refined' young ladies can go to be themselves is really interesting, and I love all the characters. Susanna is brave, funny and full of spitfire. Bram is her perfect fit, I just can't get enough of those two!
I can't say much of this book without spoiling it, but it's fantastic. You won't be disappointing with this book, or the series! :)

Bram is officially my least favorite romantic lead of any book I've ever read. Not only was he hard to understand narratively (he's so restrained, but then he kissed her within seconds of meeting her??), but he also was painfully aggressive. One throwaway line about not being the kind of man who forced himself on women doesn't take away from the fact that he basically forced himself on Susanna from the start. I just couldn't get invested in their romance.
I like the Spindle Cove setup and I'll probably read the rest, but I hope they have more believable and likable leads.

just not in the mood for a full romance novel right now. this is cute and spicy and lots of the things i like most in my romances, but I’m just not getting into the story. taking a break and focusing on podcasts for a bit. my reading game has been off, but I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself.
