It was a fun lighthearted book. It’s not what I usually read but I enjoyed it for the most part! I sort of felt like the book dragged on once the main goal was finished like halfway through the book and the romance was already established. I thought a slow burn would’ve been better (my personal preference though!) Overall a nice read.

In some ways it felt like an improvement from the first book, as unbelievable as that is. I enjoyed it so much. I would recommend this duology in a heartbeat.

This is such a cute sequel. I probably like it more than the first book which is so hard to do. But Marian is just such a bad ass. Robs absolute obsession with her was sooo sexy. I definitely loved their chemistry and banter. I was confused why Marian was so easy forgiven for just disappearing so that’s why it’s not 5 stars. But it’s excellent, couldn’t put it down! Read it!

This criminally good romance made it easy to want to fly through it in two days. The characters were lovable, the plot was nonstop, the romance was swoon-worthy, the communication was communicating — I didn’t want to stop! I really had such a good time reading this, and I can’t recommend the series enough.

I loved this book. Was it revolutionary? No. Was it a feel-good read that had me blushing the whole way through? Absolutely. It was delightful to continue in this series (would not recommend as a stand-alone) and have such a similar vibe to a book I loved last year while having an engaging and new storyline. I really hope we get at least one more book in this series even though I feel like the ending did leave me satisfied. Great book- will most assuredly read again.

I read Kit Webb and this one back to back as to best understand the story and while I quite enjoyed them both, this was was definitely the better of the two. I definitely recommend reading Kit Webb first and reading them together since the plots are so intertwined and I imagine this would not be easy to understand without Kit Webb. 

Rob was perhaps one of my favorite MMCs in a while, his characterization was written in a way that was so enjoyable and made it impossible not to root for him at every turn. His relationships with the people he loved and the animals he loved, as well as with the people around him, made him practically perfect with a morally grey Robin-Hood-style code of ethics. Marian was, of course, an absolute icon once again and I enjoyed getting to understand her, her past, and her relationships to the ones she cared about more as well! I also enjoyed that the book did not shy away from discussions of her period and the dangers of pregnancy as I feel that even in contemporary books this is often ignored. The relationship between the two and their dynamic in and outside of the bedroom were enjoyable to read and the author balanced well telling us the story of the relationship while telling us the tale of their adventure. 

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a historical romance that has a greater plot and even a greater purpose outside of the romance!
