5.0

Was the protagonist the densest, least observant person imaginable?  Yes.  Did I for some reason still love her?  Also yes.  I really liked this book, and I felt like the ending was very satisfying.  There were some plot threads that completely dropped off, but nothing that overly bothered me.

3.0

I was very excited bout this work because I had recently read a lot of period romance pieces. However, something about the vibes in this book just felt off. I did think the writing was well done, but I genuinely hated many of the characters, one of which being a main character. 

I feel like if a few of the romance elements had been changed, it plus have been a lot better for my vibes. 

Even with that I think the narrator did an absolutely amazing job in the performance of the work. All of the voices were uniquely done, an the dramatization was superb. 

In the end I gave this a 3 stars, and I would like to thank NetGalley n the publisher for this audio arc
