This story was adorable and I loved every second of it. A noble lady who never wishes to marry as she is attracted to women accidentally falls for a noble lady who has no idea who she’s attracted to, her life has been nothing but surviving this cruel man’s world to even consider anyone.
Lily finds out that Jo is to be married off for the wellbeing of her family and does not want to be. So lily does what she does best, rides off in her brothers old clothes and armor to pretend to be a man in the tournament that Jo’s family is hosting as a way to find a favorable match for her. Lily doesn’t really have a plan, but to compete as best she can and hopefully win the favor of Jo so she can save her from an unwanted marriage to a man she doesn’t know.
What could possibly go wrong?
Well, a lot of things.
The story starts where Lily looks to be doing well and there’s so much hope, but then things start to devolve from there, one thing going wrong after another. But are they really going wrong if they end up in the right place?
Full of sweet first love and quiet yearning and blooming from a friendship to something much greater. I loved Lilys fiery spirit and Jo’s gentle but determined nature.
