Oh, I absolutely KNEW this was going to be my favourite book in the series. An introvert (definitely hufflepuff) who takes in stray animals???? IT'S ME.
Not only were the main characters incredibly loveable, but this book was SO FREAKING FUNNY that I actually laughed out loud on multiple occasions which NEVER happens.
The love interest was also so sexy (defs a slytherin), and was so considerate towards Penny and her feelings and it had me feelin so SOFT.
While this book was hilarious, it also had some really dark moments when they were discussing their pasts, but I thought this was done really well.
I ALSO LOVE THE FRIENDSHIP IN THESE BOOKS. IT'S SO WHOLESOME.
AND THE BANTER!!!!!!!!! Especially between the guys omg i LIVE FOR IT.

Tessa Dare is my historical romance QUEEN and I doubt anyone can change my mind.
