To Have and to Hoax by Martha Waters

4.0

This was one fun read! Another one for my favourite tropes, a broken marriage. Our couple has been estranged for four years after a misunderstanding lead to a big argument that the couple couldn't come back from.

I really enjoyed the fire that our lady had, very much ahead of her time. As always with Regency romances, I adore the women who fight the cage that they are being forced into.

I loved the plotting and the teasing that came from the need to outwit each other in their game. There was even a FRIENDS moment in there that had me chuckling.

I do wish that the things they decided to prank each other with at the beginning were lighter and not so dismal, it would have brought a lot more fun into the equation.

The spice was great, the love story fun and also very touching and serious, watching them find their way back to each other was a joy.

I also love how the author set up the next books and I cannot wait to dive into the next romances!
