This book was such a delight! I don’t have a lot to say about it other than the fact that it was just fun. This is a second chance romance and I would’ve loved to have some flashbacks or something, but they’ve known each other since they were children. He hasn’t told anyone in this village that he’s a duke and he’s finally at the point where he has to come clean because he can’t win her over without her knowing his true identity! Meanwhile Chloe and her dad are working on developing and selling a sauce so that he could get revenge on the men who stole his recipe. This whole story just felt so cozy and I loved it. (And as always, Mary Jane Wells makes it even better.)
