First historical romance, has made me a Tessa Dare lover for life. Found this book not only sweet but hilarious. The banter between Emma and the Duke is so natural and effortlessly fun. The slow burn between them and their undeniable love for each other was simply perfect. I wished the whole “I love you, but I can’t tell you,” trope didn’t last as long as it did. But still, I read all of it in about a day and a half! And I’m usually a very slow reader.
