What does one do when an amnesiac earl publicly claims to know you “carnally”? Pretend you’re married to him, duh.
Stacy Reid has done it again. There’s a reason she’s one of my favourite historical romance authors. You might end up disliking the plot or the tropes, but you sure will have a good time reading the book, and the steam is always on point which is a bonus.
Georgie is my type of heroine. She’s fiercely independent and would do anything when it comes to her family’s wellbeing. I might be a little biased as I am the eldest myself, and relate to many of the challenges she goes through, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with her. She loves her siblings so selflessly and speaks of cooking with such passion. You can feel her love for cooking as you’re reading, which turned it to my favourite thing about the book. One cannot help but fall in love with Georgie. She’s definitely a new addition to my “favourite HR heroines” list.
I was a little thrown off by Daniel at the very beginning, in fact, I very much got the ick, but thankfully, things did change for the better when he lost his memory. The only problem is that I only liked him when he his memory was gone, the minute he got it back, things went south. His anger due to Georgie’s deception is completely valid, but to me, the way he handled things erased any character growth he achieved. I missed my Mr. Stannis the second the Earl came back.
Everything was going well until the last 75% of the book. Those last chapters were not “it” for me. If anything, they did make me feel a little icky which is the reason why I can’t bring myself to give this book a higher rating. Daniel’s actions towards the end made it very hard for me to root for him, and at the end, I was not convinced by his feelings for Georgie. I didn’t believe he was truly in love with her.
BONUS POINTS: any scene that involved the animals or the little ones had me laughing and dying of cuteness at the same time. I really enjoyed those, they were great.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review, opinions are my own.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read it early.
