Jan 2021 re-read:
The ultimate marriage of convenience, friends to lovers, slow burn romance. I ached for them.
On this re-read I really appreciated the emphasis on how people change and love evolves
Nov 2019:
A young heiress makes a pact with her intended, a penniless Earl, that they will not consummate their marriage until after eight years have passed. During those eight years, they build a solid partnership, he continues to see other people, and she pines like a forest. And then the eight years are up.....
Perfect for me. A marriage of convenience romance with lots of repressed emotions where the MCs are kind lovely people who are victims of their circumstances. I especially loved Millie, a "quiet, sensible, self-contained" heroine who is desperately in love with her husband but can't tell him!!
I'll be re-reading this one.
