got a little further into this one but it was a strain. i shouldn't critique this too much because there must be a reason it is out of print but i've read a few of Hibbert's other romances from 2018 and enjoyed the writing so much and yet in this one...i very strongly dislike it. it is unedited and bland and so uninteresting. the characters are weird and their first encounter literally made me mad. they haven't spoken at all and yet they are judging each other and making their own conclusions and the male even believes that she is privileged (with no reason to assume so) and decides to hate her for it. i can't continue.
