not as good as her newer series but I can see why this book got people excited about Tessa Dare.

too much gender essentialism and general possessiveness for my taste, but tbh it isn’t as bad as other romances from ~2012 ish.

This was my first full length Tessa Dare and while it was mostly enjoyable I found it a bit long and slow. I think I'm just used to a different formula for most romances I read. Still enjoyable but I think I would have rated it higher if it was a little bit shorter, especially since even after that length the happy ending still felt rushed!

I loved this! I was surprised, because I attempted to read it once before and only got about 7% of the way in before I put it down. But I was definitely wrong the first time.

From the first page I was gripped by the characters. The couple's strengths and weaknesses fit together so well, in ways that you would not expect at first. Seeing them both overcome their insecurities and grow together was so beautiful. I also appreciated that they had real problems that they had to work through in order to be together, and that they were so good at communicating with one another about them (not just the misunderstanding trope over and over again). I really believed that they were each other's Person by the end of the book.

I also appreciate that the author did not let the time period rob any of the women of being badasses. All of the supporting characters were so delightful that I am excited to read the rest of the books in the series to delve into new pairings.

Honestly it was everything I could ask for in a historical romance.
