Not quite as tightly put together as Tessa’s later books but fun nonetheless.

I really enjoyed Amelia as a lead; she is intelligent, kind (to a fault), loyal, and seems funny as hell. I really appreciate that Dare had created a characters and romance of opposites that felt new despite it following some of the traditional romance tropes. The characters are all really fleshed out despite being dropped into the middle of action without much exposition which I think is really the mark of a very skilled writer.

I did find myself a touch bothered by some of the B plot stories (hence the 4 stars instead of 5), but mentioning those in too much detail would be spoilers!

All in all, this was another excellent romance from Tessa Dare and I’m looking forward to continuing the series!

Just what I wanted from this story. Executed every trope to perfection and the conflicts throughout the story felt genuine and realistic—apart from the rushed marriage of course. I liked and sympathized with both main characters and look forward to the other books in the series.
