This was funny, steamy, and surprisingly touching in parts! Just what you want from a historical romance. I really enjoyed this one.

4.0

This was a delightfully modern take on the Regency romance. Instead of a virginal shrinking violet, the heroine Emma is a more feminist imagining of a protagonist, with more agency and more nuance than you might find otherwise. Ashbury, the hero, is equally as nuanced, although kind of a jerk (trauma does not excuse poor behavior). The awkward situations the author puts these two in were very amusing, and the blossoming feelings left me charmed. While funny, I think some of the humor detracts from emotional moments in a record-scratch-type deflation of tension that I wasn't a fan of. The plot was a little bizarre but if you can suspend your disbelief, this book is a great time.

This book is exactly what I needed. Something like, funny, with enjoyable, bad, her, romance, and some spice but, still not set in my current world. 

I know the cover is ridiculous and often covers like this really don’t get me excited about the book. But if you’re looking for romance, that’s funny and a little bit ridiculous but still enjoyable pick this one up!
