It looks like a historical bodice ripper. It is NOT! This is what they mean when they say don’t judge a book by its cover (although the cover art is BEAUTIFUL).
The FMC (Kham) is a little inexperienced (given the context it makes total sense). Her dad is evil (which I’m not going to go into but I hate when romances have evil fathers, it’s a personal squick). I didn’t know this book had sequels until earlier today, I definitely want to pick them up! I was fortunate my library had a copy of this available to read (in print!) and I would have rated this 4 stars instead of 5 except that it’s the first time I wanted to keep a library book for myself (I did return it, I promise). Currently searching for my own copy of this!

the saying, “don’t judge a book by the cover” was literally invented because of this book. just read it.
