This was a cute, quick read. It probably didn't need to be this long, and the writing often made it unclear which person was thinking/speaking. Otherwise, some fun fluff.

DNF after 10% - the writing was clunky and was very badly researched.

Get yourself a man who yearns for you the way Raff Barden yearns for Penn de Foucart.

A runaway groom and the hunter sent to retrieve him.
Clandestine meeting in the forest.
Secret identities.
Mutual pining.
Huddling close while they camp outside. ("Only for warmth," they say! Not because they wanna hold each other tenderly.)

This was a delight. I would hazard to call this an accurate Historical- more historical adjacent. It was very A Knights Tale coded and I really loved that.
