4.5

A delightful story told in 24 chapters as an Advent Book for Christmas. 

Sonnet is a fiesty, cunning FMC who strives to help her family by gaining standing in society and Malcolm Black is going to help her whether he happens to fall for her or not. 

While I really enjoyed the book, I took off a .5 for a lot of typos. Sending stories through Beta and Alpha readers real helps with this.

Content Warnings

Minor: Sexual content, Violence, and Death of parent

There is a bonus chapter that is sexy times and The author gives a clear warning if Spice isn't your thing, skip it. I really thought this would have been an engagement scene, not just a sex scene. And taking someone's virginity that roughly when you love them is a bit much. I would have preferred a more tender sex scene. Ride the horse, ride the cowboy.
