Picked this one up as I was looking forward to some non-Bridgerton work. Unfortunately . . . I found the hero unlikeable and cliché; the heroine was refreshingly non-English, but one can only read about her hair color so many times, you see. And quite frankly, the writing is rough.
Redeeming factors are the snippets of humor and the reappearance of a plot within the last part of the book. Not unreadable, but would prefer not to read again. 2 / 5.

Not 5 stars cause of very little inconsistences, and a kinda silly ending (I personally hate the "we pregnant" end, no need for it inside the story).
BUT kickass funny heroine, ok guy (he could be better - would be had he not called her a bitch and then tried to control her like he had the right... he eventually understood what was all about, but not enough grovel and attitude from her, I think), very good side characters, and action packed. Read in one sit.

This was cute. Very insta love though, and I feel like it should have ended at 80%. I believe this is JQ's first novel, so all things considered, it was an average read.

Has Julia Quinn's signature witty banter between characters but love scenes have descriptions that are a little bit old-time-romance.
