This is definitely going to be a comfort book. The Plot is interesting yet not to harsh or fast. It's gentle in a way if rarely even read before.
I love the characters, especially since I can see certain character traits of myself in them.
I do not believe in love but reading this does warm my heart and year for someone by myself. Someone who could love me as these two love each other.

 Get yourself a man who yearns for you the way Raff Barden yearns for Penn de Foucart.

A runaway groom and the hunter sent to retrieve him.
Clandestine meeting in the forest.
Secret identities.
Mutual pining.
Huddling close while they camp outside. ("Only for warmth," they say! Not because they wanna hold each other tenderly.)

This was a delight. I would hazard to call this an accurate Historical- more historical adjacent. It was very A Knights Tale coded and I really loved that.

A delightful romantic romp, between two young men who are smart when it comes to other people, but incredibly dumb when it comes to one another. The will-they-won't-they keeps you on edge through every twist of their journey, and the book will keep you on edge until the very last page.
