Bridgerton with a Shadow Daddy. Need I say more?

This book is so fun! It has courting, dancing, murder, assassination attempts, and fabulous dresses! ;) 

It also includes LGBTQIA+ Rep and plenty of female empowerment, especially when it comes to sexual relationships. 

Alessandra is our gorgeous FMC, who designs her own clothes and is a true influencer with everyone in court immitating her looks the day after she wears them. But there is so much more to her than that! She's cunning, loves dogs, and has the determination to get exactly what she wants.

The Shadow King, hello shadow daddy!, is brooding and difficult, yet intriguing and sexy. His furry friend, Demodocus, is an adorably loyal pup and I loved his inclusion in the story.

I'm not typically a huge fan of YA Romance, but I found this to be really enjoyable! For me, it was a great palette cleanser between the darker, more intense Fantasy Romances that I tend to read.
