While not my favorite of her books I was high angst with light spice. Idk I felt like the last third of it just really slowed down and it was too predictable from the start. While I love her books this one just wasn’t my favorite. Love the couple and they way we see them grow it just fell flat

My first Catharina Maura book! It was very 🔥 at some points, for my taste a little bit too many times when it wasn‘t really „fitting“. But I still would love to get into the Windsor Series some day!☺️
