This was kind of a nothing-burger of a book. It was fine! There were some sexy moments and some heartwarming moments but it's kind of more or less exactly like every other medieval romance where the FMC marries a Scot so after a while it felt a bit boring. I also felt like the villain and their motivations was a little bit out of left field? Idk if you just want to turn your brain off and turn the pages this is fine.

Choppy writing but really adorable characters and a fabulous listen vs. read. Very steamy! Alas, for a Lynsay Sands - NO POISONINGS! 😂

FMC (Annabel) has trained to be a nun and is very worried about “bedding” but the MMC (Ross) is such a sweet delight of a man, determined to woo her and convince her that bedding can be enjoyable. Lots of shenanigans mainly surrounding a strange person who keeps knocking Annabel unconscious and trying to kidnap her. Being knocked out is a main theme for this book - I think the final tally on KOs was 10, three of which were incurred by Annabel in the space of a week. 🤕
