I've read two other books by Talia Hibbert, one was a short kobo plus ebook and one was a YA romance. I was impressed by the prose here, it felt elevated. I have gotten a bit used to more simplistic and maybe a little clumsy writing in the romances I've read lately, but this had more finesse in the dialogue and descriptions. I liked both characters and the romance, but there is really no plot outside the romance at all. The drama is just them miscommunicating or jumping to conclusions unnecessarily, which was a bit tiring, especially in the 3rd act. The fibromyalgia representation helps the book stand out, that was the most unique element. I'll definitely read more of this series though and I loved that the audiobook was narrated by the actress who plays Lady Danbury on Bridgerton.
