4.5

I spent the majority of this book with a stupid goofy smile on my face bc of how romantic it is. A brush of the hand, glances across ballrooms, and regency era courting rules between contrarian individuals will always make me giddy and hold a special place in my heart. 
Add in an interesting plot, some magic and faeries, and strong-willed women and it will never go below 4 stars. 

That being said, this book was going to have a 5 star rating from me, until the very last paragraph. Leading up to that, my cheeks were sore from smiling and I couldn't put it down, but I felt that the last paragraph was disappointing and took the wind out of my sails. 
I read the author's blurb on here for her reasons (which will spoil things btw), but I didn't feel it was necessary to the story, and took away from everything else that had been built up through the story. 


I will be happily ignoring the existence of that paragraph when looking back on this book. 🥰✨
