I read this book back in 2015, and I have since read it 4-5 times.
I enjoyed the story, maybe not so much during this latest reread but, I have enjoyed it in the past. Its a quick, no-brainer, read.

This book is incomprehensible. Not only is the formatting of the ebook terrible so that you have no idea where you are or why you are there - I couldn't tell whether I had started reading the book or if I was reading a synopsis of the book.
It was really bad.
I just can't hang with bad formatting and bad writing.

I was surprised that I actually loved this one. Bess is interesting & funny.

It was decent, but there seemed to be more sexual innuendo than I'm used to in a story set in that time period.

I was pleasantly surprised to find myself enjoying the characters in this book so quickly. Let's be honest, a free Kindle book in the "bodice ripping" genre can be a lot of fun to read, but the characters usually don't endear themselves to the reader.
I loved the banter between Bess and the earl. It was lively, fun and even somewhat realistic. That Bess behaved more like a woman of our times and that is what attracted the earl to her was great. I love strong willed women characters, especially in period romance novels where it is almost never seen.
Definitely recommend this for a light summer read or to heat up a cold winter night. A lot of "slow build" moments with a bit of sex but not too over the top.

This was a really cute, historical, romance, which is something I enjoy from time to time as a break from my typical reading of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. I also need to read a stand alone book occasionally as a breather sometimes from my series reading material.
