Random IG rec did not disappoint, this time. But the overall pacing felt a bit slow and the switch to “omg ily so much” stage was super easy??? 

This was the scene that caught me wanting to read the book asap:

Owen continued, raising their joined hands between them and kissing her knuckles. “I cannot promise I will be the kind of lover you need, but if you are willing to take a risk on me, I am willing to try to learn.”

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this ARC.

I usually go for YA when I read, so when I came across the blurb for this regency historical fiction I was instantly intrigued. I was under the impression that this would be as good as other historical romances I have read in the past. However, the author didn't do it justice.

While the author wrote about the main social constructs of the time perfectly, I thought her romance craft and tone in the writing to be more on the juvenile side.

I read this as a standalone from the first book, An Improbable Season, and all opinions are my own.

I discovered this author because she was on the new books shelf of the teen section in our library. She's a great writer, and this book is fun and cute. Perfect for anyone in the mood for a clean romance that isn't religious.

I was not aware that this was the second book in a series (even though it is a stand alone)..

"An Unlikely Proposition" by Rosalyn Eves is set against the backdrop of a vividly depicted historical era, think Bridgerton. Eves' writing is elegant and evocative, making it difficult to put the book down. Overall, "An Unlikely Proposition" is a delightful read that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and romance alike.
