The story was predictable, good for reading when you want something lighthearted. The chemistry between the characters wasn't strong. The author didn't give much time to build the connection between them. The plot is unique at least to me if you take consideration of the fact that I haven't read much books which involves regency era. At 60% mark, it felt really boring. I understand the perspective of Lucas but the story could have been more if it involved much more plot twist.

I couldn't connect with the characters, now it's not a requirement for me to connect with the characters to like the books, but at least a little bit would have been good. Would I read this book again? No. It's a decent story, not something that would move my heart. The writing style is good, I don't have anything to say against it.
