Diana Quincy has officially become one of my favorite authors. From the first page, I was immediately transported into the world she created. It felt like I was watching an episode of Bridgerton. 

The chemistry between Leela and Elliot jumped off the page. With one-night stand tropes, you don’t always see what happened between the MCs during that one night. It can be difficult to believe their chemistry development when the reader is simply told a one-night stand occurred. So it was refreshing to see how their mundane conversations stemmed from their one night together. And the TENSION!!! Whew, chile, historical romances hit differently when it comes to tension.

Leela is one of the best FMCs I’ve read in a while. If you want a definition of a boss, read this story. She was not going to let anyone tell her what to do or how to act. I also loved the relationships she had with both sides of her family. And um, I’m gonna need me a man like Elliot/Hunt. I was a bit worried his character was going to be a little dull, but in the end, he did everything he could to be with Leela. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t swoon.
