I had an absolute BLAST reading this entertaining romp of a romance! The plot was fast-paced and so much fun, I was rooting for the characters as they found themselves in delightful scrapes all the way to the last page, and just ultimately had the best time. Despite the page-turning plot, I never felt I didn't know the characters, or that they weren't sufficiently fleshed out. Honestly, this might be one of my favorite historical romances? It had all the things I love, with an extra dose of historical correctness and fun, flirty banter. A good time all around, and I'm looking forward to more from this author!

I really liked the premise of the book and the pacing, but at times the dialogue felt a little rushed and I would’ve wished for a bit more subtext. Characters felt they said exactly what they meant more often than modern people usually do but asleep sometimes more often than even regency folks did (and they spoke in veiled subtext far more often)
