This is definitely a slow burn, which I feel is true of the regency genre overall. The premise of this books makes it inherently emotional and sad but I did enjoy seeing the Franchesca and Michael find joy after death and amidst their grief. Plus, the spice was on point. I think it’s worth the read even if you’re not particularly into regency, like me. You’ll still find a lot to love about their story.
