I find historical romance so hit or miss. I enjoyed the beginning of this story, but it just got so cheesy. Funnily enough, I don't normally mind a bit of cheese, but it was a bit too mushy and saccharine.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love a man with daddy (and in this case, mommy) issues. Plus Kieran was a secretly soft bad boy? Obsessed. Celeste was a fun FMC, and her struggle with her place in society felt more realistic than other historical romances I’ve read.

OMG I love Celeste and Kieran so much! She's considered a good girl [she's also his best friends little sister 😏] he's considered a rake who has no care for responsibility...and then circumstances cause them to join forces. *chefs kiss* She completely gobsmacks him with just how curious, adventurous, and full of life she is...and he surprises her with his sensitive side, caring, and poetry *swoons* and OMG the TENSION and then the SPICE! *SCREAMS IN HISTORICAL ROMANCE*
