I did enjoy it! I like Poppy a lot
And I like how David listened to her and like understood that she was smart and didn’t try to hold her back
Perhaps that’s the bear minimum in a partner

I liked the premise, the start of the novel and the basic plot. But a hero that loses/misplaces his wife not once but twice (and for a FULL WEEK the first time), needs a much deeper redemption arc. The story felt anti-climatic by the end.

Sweet as sugar if you want a historical novel with a writing heroine, occasionally foolish hero and a lot of self-esteem issues.
A sweet, gentle read.

This was one of those ‘these characters are idiots and it fills me with glee’ historical romances. First comes ruination, then comes (reluctant) marriage? Then comes well-earned HEA 🥰
We had:
✨ spying on his liaisons for ‘research’
✨ sexy blackmail is all fun and games until you’re forced to marry
✨ “Courting his wife was going to be a damn sight more difficult than he’d expected” [actual quote]
✨ one of my favourite types of FMCs: the poor-yet-genteel older sister scheming (in this case, secretly earning money as an author) to get her younger sisters well married
✨ one of my favourite types of MMCs: a total idiot (making it through life with Pretty Peer Privilege™️ alone)
This is definitely a high four star. Our girl made him work for it. And I loved her for that. Apparently grovels are this authors thing? I’m excited for this backlist!
