i love lydia lloyd! her writing is such a fresh voice in the historical romance genre. i loved the supporting cast, the supporting cast's relationships, and all of the plot points! she put kind of a unique spin on the "brother's best friend" trope. the spice was also so fun, which is especially notable for a trad pub historical romance. i will say, i didnt feel the majority of their chemistry/emotional connection until like 75% in, and before that point, their connection was based mostly on lust and off-page past encounters. by the end, though, I did feel like I knew the characters well and felt that they were good together. the characters' relationships with their parents were very emotionally compelling, too. overall, I didn't love this as much as the first of Lloyd's books, but I still really enjoyed it and would recommend. 

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an arc!
