I can not believe I waited so long to start reading Sarah Maclean!!!!! This hit a lot of the tropes I love in a historical. Shy lady who sets out on adventures, dragging along the man she’s pined over for years. I loved the list she made. I loved Callie and Gabriel’s banter and the way he’d get so frustrated with her. I especially enjoyed the way Gabriel was completely bowled over by Callie. The entire book was delightful. Sarah Maclean gave me everything I love. The heart clenching angst, the swoon, the steam.

“Love does not destroy, Gabriel. It creates.” I swoon.
