The pacing of the story is off. Why is everything happening in the last hour??

I read this whole series after reading all the Bridgerton books because I wasn’t ready for them to be over. It definitely scratched the itch but not as much as Julia Quinn! I’d recommend skipping all of this series and just reading A Devil in Winter if you’re looking for a Victorian era romance novel (which I almost always am)

I really enjoyed this cute historical romance after a heavy fantasy book. The romance aspect was so cute and I was screaming!!!

I loved Annabell, she's strong-willed in a way I like. Simon rubbed me the wrong way at some moments but after they were married they had some of their best interactions together.
The ending with the fire, going in after him, him angry she didn't save herself, realizing they love each other, their declarations and finding their homes in each other was really beautifully written ❤️
