I think I have read almost every read written by Tessonja Odette that is set in the world created in The Fair Isle Trilogy and Entangled with Fae so this book has been on my must-read list ever since I heard that it was coming out.

I really enjoyed this book.  It's a charming romcom with great banter, steamy scenes, and sweltering sexual tension that gives a regency feel with magic.  Perfect for a Bridgerton Season 3: Part 1 after effects!

I can't wait for the next book in this series because Daphne is going to blow us away.

Thank you to NetGalley, Tessonja Odette, and the publisher for an ARC of this book!
