This was a sweet book with nice representation and smile-evoking conversations. My only dislike was it got a little bonkers at the end.

i… i don’t know what to do with this… it wasn’t horrible, but between the lackluster ableism plot-line that goes basically no where (it had the makings of something for someone who has never really thought about disabled people before the very second they read the book). and on top of that is the sudden rape discussion and descriptions that was so jarring i almost stoped at like 90%.

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted

4.5

Sara är strandsatt på bröllop som inte är hennes egna och det värsta är att hon måste spendera tiden med Hugh. Hugh som sköt hennes kusin Daniel och sedan fick honom att fly landet. 

Hugh och Sara hade inte ett så bra första möte men tiden läcker sår, så kanske kan man bort se från det. 

Som vanligt bjuder Julia Quinn på dramatik, underhållning och romans i stora lass. Tredje delen i Smythe-Smith-kvartetten leverar lika mycket underhållning som resten av serien och Brigerton böckerna. Oerhört underhållande, måste läsning för alla Julia Quinn fans.

I really liked it! 
Sarah is a badass, I love her! 

I loved the ens of the book where Sarah scared Lord Ramsgate away, it was a girl power-moment! I loved the way Hugh Dantes to protect Sarah and he felt like he wasn’t enough for her but she made sure he knew he was. And when they meet outside in the middle of the night!<3

Still have To read the last one but this is definetitely my favorite in the quartett so far!
