Firstly, I just want to say that this was my top read of July!
Now, I loved the writing style and the dual POV is always a fave here. I also liked how the book felt very balanced, it didn't drop at any points or had slow chapters. There was always something happening!
Another aspect that I liked, was the age-gap trope and how it was different from the stereotypical 'male being older' style.
Bronya was such a badass and I loved how she was depicted as the go to 'shy, inexperienced etc' female character. She knew what she wanted to do and how she was going to do it!
Lord Rokuro. Well, what can I say.... New book boyfriend?
I loved how he was patient with Bronya and let her open up to him in her own time ( because of her tragic past surrounding the male species) and how cared for her , showing her that her curse wasn't all that she was. I liked how he saw her vulnerabilities and didn't immediately try to solve them himself, instead letting Bronya have her space and time.
That ending though! I thought for a second that Rokuro was gone! I was so glad we got a chapter 6 months later and found out that Rokuro was all good and that he and Bronya were living happily together.
On the whole, this is a fantastic standalone series with all the right tropes:
- age gaps
-enemiestolovers
-forced proximity
- one bed (one room)
- he yearns for her
- serious tension etc
I can't wait to see what's next in the series :)
