Good, light read; perfect for summer. Though I started rewatching the second season and I do like the show a tad more. If I happen upon the third one somewhere inexpensive like I did with this one, I'll probably read it, and that's just because the background premise of "historical fiction" isn't something I'm necessarily jumping at to read, so I'm unlikely to seek out the next one.

Overall, a cute romance and Anthony and Kate had me kicking with their banter. Also, not an offensive amount of sex scenes, which is always a plus in my book. I think the first explicit scene happened like 60% in, which was great for me, but I know others read romance more for steam than romance, in which case, this may not be for them.
