Thank you Netgalley and Avon and Harper Voyager Publishing, for the e-arc1
Immediate 5 stars upon finishing! This really had every element I love in a good romance book. Sapphic central romance, second chance romance for their parents, a bit of fantastic spice, and just the right amount of tension. This book brings everything I love amount period romances, like pride and prejudice, and makes it queer and spicy.
Our two main characters, Gwen and Beth, complement each other perfectly. They both have so much passion and energy! They are truly perfect for each other. The parts where they thought they couldn't be together had me tearing up. The author definitely knows how to get people invested in the characters. Their parent's part of the romance is also excellent. Their second chance at happiness was executed perfectly, and I don't think I have ever been more happy for two characters.
Can't wait for the next book! I have my fingers crossed hoping for another book. I would love to see how the story continues.
