I loved this, but it will lose half a point for calling them a “staff” and “her breeding parts.”

i was laughing all the way home. 

although it did drag on a bit long towards the end (we get a few repeat issues and you're like hmmmm seems as though dare had a book written, but it wasn't long enough, so she added a few things but didn't flesh them out bc that would then make the book too long) , these characters were fun and interesting and i absolutely love that tessa dare is never afraid to play with the genre a bit, these books are so much better when the author knows and respects that they're writing a capital R Romance novel and are willing to let things get a little absurd, bc ofc this isn' t the real world and it's very nice to have that distinction.

but this didn't just make me laugh, these characters made me feel things and i just relate to maddie so much.

also maddie has an "oh shit he's hot moment" after he puts his glasses on to read something//when it comes out that he's a big reader, and i think that's lovely, especially in a genre that often places more importance on physical attributes rather than shared hobbies and interests, the things that actually make people compatible.


if you don't know how sold i am on this book, there is a height difference which i, the six two woman in the room, usual abhorr, but i didn't find it relevant to my star rating.

5.0

I tried very hard (veh-ry veh-ry hard) to find something I didn't like about this one, and honestly folks, I came up empty. "The cover art wasn't my favorite" was about the best I had because otherwise this is just all the tropes wrapped up with a neat little (tartan) bow.

If you like any of the following, this one is for you:
- Misunderstandings
-Marriage of convenience
-My heart can't take rejection so I am going to pretend I'm not in love even though I totally am.
-Kilts.
-Accents.
-Tragic backstories
-Lovable side characters
-Possessiveness
-Supporting each other's dreams

Need I say more?

I really think this might be one of my favorite books Dare has ever written, and I highly recommend reading it.
