When a Princess Proposes by Kerrelyn Sparks
2.75
Note: i have not read any of the rest of the embraced series, and I found the lore easy to follow
A tropey romance with lots of pining, a self-disparaging lead, and a grumpy+ sunshine couple. Plus a character who when touched makes you blurt out your feelings. Hilarity ensues.
There are a few... conservative(?) values sprinkled into this book, that aren't my cup of tea, so I'm posting them here for those interested.
-There is a character that the author makes a point to bring attention to the fact that he likes to dress up like a milkmaid. It is very clear the rest of the cast thinks that this makes him lesser and the author continues to hammer this home when Evie goes on a date with him and he shows her a portrait hall of the women in his family also dressed like milkmaids. The male lead spends a lot of time using it to insult the character as well.
-The main couple also rush to get married before they have sex, so they go from pining and heavy petting to... Marriage, like in a day, and then immediately sex.
Not my cup of tea, but served the purpose I bought it for.
