Definitely needed a palette cleanser after some disappointing reads, and this felt perfect for that. It’s certainly quite cheesy at parts, but I knew what I was in for. (Especially the spicy scenes, narrated by a sweet older lady lol. Classic bodice-ripper.) I am finding lately I love having a clear visual of a character, and who doesn’t want to picture these two while reading. They’re both so gorgeous, swoon. This is by no means an enlightened feminist love story, but again, I knew was I was getting into and I’m allowed to put aside some of that for a silly little read.
