This was actually… so different from other books of the sort! I’m positively surprised. I needed something light and without much thinking needed after all the finals stress. 
Also what a breath of fresh air to see a heroine be unapologetically herself and not a shy, annoying damsel in distress. Loved that part! Also a little less “I love you so much XY” towards the end would have been wonderful in my opinion. I know it’s a romance book but one and done would suffice.

I found the text to be overly wordy and flowery, which made it tough to get through. The plot was also very reminiscent to "The Duchess Deal" by Tessa Dare, though this book was less polished and the plot was much slower.
