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

mxemma's review
This book is wildly misogynistic, sickeningly homophobic, and just plain badly written. The male lead is possessive and has no concept of boundaries or respect for women as human beings with thoughts and rights of their own. Every man who isn't a red-blooded asshole panting to become a soldier is framed as a "pansy," not a "real man," and is repeatedly described in the most dehumanizing terms. I'll pass on anything else by this author.

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.
