Review might be biased bc I didn’t expect to like this book. Premise seemed too complicated. But, overall, it was well done.

Overall,
This was ok. Not my favorite of Julia Quinn's. I think that is a me problem though. I really dont like lies and secrets between FMC and MMC. Miscommunication is just not my cup of tea. With that said the "while he was sleeping trope" gave reasons. This was pretty predictable. I will still read the rest of the Rokesbys, hopefully this was just a lark

I'm not a fan of the secret keeping, I feel it would have been a better book if she had told him the first night and they were in on the ruse together until they had an opportunity to be married if they decided to. I Did like the characters and thought that the story was cute, but I Felt like the inner turmoil of her lying to him, didn't add anything and wasn't a good way to start a relationship.
