A Game of Hearts by Joanna Barker
5.0
What an adorable book! It hit the bullseye for everything I hoped it would be!
“The tension wound tightly between us, a bow string stretched to its breaking point.”
This enemies to lovers’ storyline was delightful. The banter between Marigold and Tristan was excellent and had me laughing and smiling throughout the book. Their growth as individuals alongside their journey to love was believable and heartwarming. The first kiss scene! OMG! Worth re-reading over and over again and is perfection for a regency romance.
“I looked fearsome. Like Robin Hood, if he’d been a woman with golden braids and an insatiable itch to win.”
Marigold’s determination to win on the archery field and find her equality within the archery societies was inspiring. The archery theme of the story was well done and woven throughout the storyline and will have you wanting to try the sport.
Barker provided a steady paced story that will keep you turning page after page to see how the story develops. The twists and turns will keep you wondering how everything was going to end. I loved the family of both Marigold and Tristan and the development of the side characters and how they worked together and supported each other.
This is an easy five-star book for me and one that will land on my re-read shelf for sure. Without hesitation, I recommend this book.
