I'm only just getting into historical romance, and I really enjoyed the style of this one. It's inspired by Pride and Prejudice and picks up after the events in that book, and I thought the writing style really matched the vibe of Jane Austen's novels while still being very readable. I found myself really enjoying the writing style.
That said, I found myself enjoying the actual story and especially the romance less, at least initially, because it all just felt like it happened too fast - it felt quite rushed. Especially in historical romance, I personally prefer a slowburn. Later on, I did become more invested in the story as it progressed into a lot of yearning, which I'm always here for!
