I'm liking each book in this series more and more and Thaddeus and Lavinia were a delight. I loved how this one was full marriage of convenience. It was done so well and I loved all the bargains they made to try and not fall in love with each other. Of course they did anyway and it was great. Lavinia was a firecracker and I really enjoyed that she was a writer. Their relationship was so fun. I thought Lavinia's relationship with her siblings and I definitely picked up that Jane will be getting her own love story. As always, I enjoy seeing the characters from the other books and I really liked this one!

Grumpy/sunshine. She marries the Duke to save her sister; he marries her to make an heir. Her parents SUCK, but her siblings are cool. Also, she’s secretly a writer who is REALLY into her husband’s thighs.
Overall, good chemistry, some spice. The writing is a little repetitive (24 references to the Duke’s thighs), and the ending wraps up very quickly. Would love more detail or scene setting, but the pace of this makes it a quick read.

Thad is dull. Thad is bad at sex. Thad is lonely. Thad is a bad communicator. Thad assumes a lot of things... If I wanted to read about every guy I've dated... I'd write that story... but alas, I don't want to. Lavinia was great. She needed a better love interest, the end.

I've really appreciated and enjoyed this series and this was probably my favorite of the series. More than anything, I loved that this took your typical historical romance marriage of convenience trope and turned it on it's head but presenting an issue we don't usually see in romance books: an incompatibility in bed. I found that absolutely fascinating and unique and loved reading about how the couple had to work together to make that aspect of their lives work and how that drew them together in their daily lives. I wish that was something we saw in more romance novels because I think it really brings a couple together in a different way than we usually see.

Started out a little rocky but I swear I was laughing out loud so much during this. “Her brief duke”
“Precious” and so many other moments had me rolling.
Basically he is not great at sex but wants to have sex a lot and she has to sit him down and be like buddy…real talk, do you know where the clit is? He took it real well though and it was very fun! I definitely laughed out loud it was a very cheeky book.
