4,5 stars. I loved this!!! Penny reminds me of me when it comes to being boy obsessed. And UGH it was so hot that Gabe would let Penny make her own decisions!!!

Literally the only thing I didn’t like is how Gabe’s personality flipped a switch in the third act conflict. Like what??? It was so dumb.

Go penny for standing up for herself to that paedo!!

I LOVE Ash and Chase and I think I really do need to reread The Duchess Deal!

Also wooaaahhh I feel like this book was very hot in not the physicality of the sex but the emotional aspect of it and that’s sooo much hotter (at least to me)

Reread 11/26/2023
After this reread I don’t care about the third act conflict anymore this is 5 STARS!!!

The book was okay and I did enjoy a couple parts of it, but I couldn't help but be mildly disappointed. The resolutions were tepid, the sex scenes were boring, and all the relationships felt slightly unbelievable - to say nothing of the anachronisms. I think another reviewer hit the nail of the head: this is the book for someone who just wants to dip their toes into historical romances, not the avid HR reader.

Overall, I think you could enjoy this if you want to read a fluffy, modern romance set in the regency period.
