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

God I just love a Tessa Dare romance. I have no idea how she does it but I’m always invested in the main characters within minutes. 

The hero, Spencer, is a completely emotionally stunted yet unbearably handsome idiot and while many things he do would be incredibly problematic in real life - this is not real life. Therefore, he’s dreamy 👌🏻 lots of extra drama to the plot in this one too which I enjoyed. Going to read the next in the series immediately!

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.
