This definitely grew on me — I flew through it, and found myself laughing and smiling throughout. I loved how funny it was, how many silly moments there were, though I skimmed through some of the spice (there’s a lot)There were certainly things dropped and small issues, but overall I’m really into this series. Definitely a fan, and I’ve immediately put holds on the next two; hopefully they’re as good as this one :)

This is a romp, which feels so rare in Beauty and the Beast retellings (that often feel so dark-and-stormy). This is classic Tessa Dare humor - absurd, over-the-top, and wryly modern despite the historical setting. The melodramatic scenes feel intentionally campy, and yet the relational development throughout our marriage-of-convenience still feels very sincere and tender. For the first time in my reading existence I was more frustrated with our female main character than our male main character in the third act (who am I?!), but I still loved how well balanced these final conflicts are in construction and how authentically they mirror our characters' fears.

A great starting point for readers newer to historical romance, and an easy entry point to Tessa Dare.

“Don’t love me.”
The words came unbidden from his throat. Not a thought, but a plea.
“Too late,” she whispered in his ear.
“Don’t tell me so. Don’t say the words.”
“I love you.” She cupped his face in her hands and brushed a kiss to his lips. “I love you so much.”

Beauty and the Beast meets Batman — this story had all the delectable b&tb tropes with a more brazen and strong willed fmc. A definite must read if you like historical romance!
