Loved the protagonists but still not enough quartet ?
I found the change of pace in the book a little jarring and I'm not completely satisfied with the ending. Still I loved the banter and all the supporting characters !

The premise is that Sarah and Hugh are thrown together at her cousin’s wedding and forced to be in close proximity to each other. The only problem is that they despise each other openly, but must pretend to make nice for the sake of Sarah’s sweet cousin, Honoria. But then as they get to know each other, they each realise that the other is not that bad.
Other than the bizarre turn this book took in the last quarter or so, I enjoyed this. Sarah was as her cousin, Iris, identified, somewhat selfish and self-centered, but she could also be fun and sweet and witty. Hugh was clearly a neurodiverse hero and I love seeing this rep in historical romance, especially when it is done well, rather than being caricatured. This series hasn’t been my favourite so far, but they are interesting books overall with laugh out loud funny moments abound.
CW: homophobia, rape, domestic abuse, ableism, PTSD.
