🌶️🌶️ This was a quick read but was difficult to stay focused in the story. The plot is so rapidly thrown around that it doesn't quite make sense and everything wraps up in the end with no real purpose. It did not really need the underlying story with Frederick's past/his mother. The characters however make up for the plot with funny dialogue makes everything overall endearing.
The story is more sexual tension and buildup, a couple detailed/ descriptive spicy scenes but nothing as wild as other content I've read.

I went into this book not really expecting much. I'd considered buying it before, but after seeing the negative reviews, decided against it. Until I found a copy second hand and decided what the hell and to give it ago. And the only thing I have to say is – are the people who didn't enjoy this book high??
This story went above and beyond my expectations and never failed to make me laugh, smile, squeal and kick my feet and giggle. The romance felt more genuine, mature and hearty than anything else I've read in a long time. And this is coming from and tried and true romance girly.
Both Cassie and Frederick felt so real to me. Their dynamic was absolutely hilarious and Fredrick's fish out of water experience was by far my favourite part. The plot felt easy to follow and at the same time, was really intriguing. I never wanted to put this book down. And considering I finished it in only 1½ days, I feel speaks volumes.
If I had to give a criticism, however, was the ending. It felt like all this drama was being built up only for it to be solved pretty quickly without much anticipation or stakes. It just felt a bit rushed and like everything was solved before the real drama could really begin.
But all is to say that this book surpassed my expectations by a long shot. And I would never dream about not recommending this to someone!! It was light, fluffy, funny and overall amazing. Exactly the pallet cleanser I've been needing.

super fun and cute read. just a lighthearted cozy read and i really enjoyed it. i really don’t have much to say about it other than that but it was super enjoyable. definitely not a literary masterpiece by any means but honestly just a super fun time. silly and not meant to be taken seriously. cassie a broke and desperate starving artist responds to fredrick’s ad abt a room for rent and they are just perfect for one another. she’s kind and loyal and he needs someone to help him learn how to be a person in the modern world after being asleep for the past 100 years. he talks formally and wears three piece suits and cassie helps him navigate the modern world while trying not to catch feelings for him but failing miserably as he does as well. it’s really just precious through and through
