4.5

Again absolutely incredible book. 

Both Arabella and Alastair were wonderful characters and so fucking deep. 

I loved how claustrophobic the house party they crashed was, and the tiny coach they ride in together. Niven writes that kind of atmosphere so well. 

I wanted more reconciliation between Arabella's feelings about her mother and also Catherine. I wanted to see inside her head for that. 

Contains: 
Only one carriage 
She has more sexual experience than him 
Fake marriage 
Performing surgery with your love!

This was my least favourite of the series, purely because I found the main characters a bit annoying. 

There’s some great tropes - Regency road trip, virgin MMC, sex lessons, forced proximity, class differences, one-bed etc. 

I did like that Arabella was opinionated - particularly about female pleasure - but she was also very stroppy. And Alasdair was sweet but veered the slightest bit towards ‘nice guy’ for me.  I didn’t find the sex scenes very sexy 🫤 and I hated that they were ‘in love’ based on an initial ten minute meeting. 

There’s also a horrible other character who bizarrely
gets appendicitis and is saved by an operation I’m fairly sure would have actually killed him at the time. But he wasn’t a character I had any sympathy for so it was all a bit odd.
