This is my first ARC ever, and I feel extremely blessed to have been given this opportunity. I want to thank Martin Dukes for very very kindly sending me the ARC of this book, which comes out on the 31st of July! 
 
I found a lot of things in this book that I absolutely loved. First of all, the writing. 
The idea of the aristocratic setting is supported very strongly by the choice of vocabulary. The writing itself flows magnificently, and the sentences don’t feel mechanically constructed like they do in some other books. Not to mention the humour! It made me laugh out loud multiple times. 
 
Another thing that I really appreciated was reading the romantic part of the book from the perspective of the male character, rather than the usual female character. It was a pov that I don’t usually find and I found myself enjoying this novelty. 
 
I wish this book could be turned into a movie, I would love it!
