It finally happened! I found a 5-star romance novel for myself! This was pure, marshmallow-sweet goodness that never felt cloying. The protagonists complement each other so well. I found myself grinning and clutching at my chest multiple times. Maybe I was just in the perfect mood for this? There was nothing entirely unique or surprising about how the romance developed, but I ate everything up. I only wish we had an even slower burn, because I'm a sucker for that. I'm so excited to read more from Olivia Atwater! It's kind of a relief to know that romance books aren't out of the cards for me (I've been burned multiple times...), I just had to find a book that hit all the right spots. Apparently "whimsical historical fantasy" does that for me :)
