It was very entertaining, I enjoyed the banter between the main characters and the story itself.

This rake reformation is delicious, but you have to read the first book in this series, A Duke In Shining Armor, to fully appreciate the Duke of Ashmont's growth in this story. After a lifetime of pranks and aimlessness, Ashmont has to learn how to be trusted, how to take responsibility for himself and those in his care, how to make the lives of others easier (for once), and he has to evidence that he can do all of this sustainably, that he can truly become a person others depend on. His sincere reflections supported this character growth, and the levity of the point system (in rewarding his favors) balances his authentic, intrinsic motivation to hold himself accountable. This had everything I love about Loretta - a himbo hero who falls for a sharp and uncompromising heroine, plenty of absurd antics and cutting banter, comedic (and heart-warming) side characters, and a sweet, earnest happily-ever-after. I particularly loved their wedding night, and the full-circle moment that mirrors their childhood admiration.
