I will never be over this book. It is everything I have ever wanted from a Hissy RoNo: hijinx, the best tropes (marriage of convenience! Blackmail! Let’s get it out of our systems!), TENSION, shenanigans, incredibly lovable side characters, an unparalleled level of h o r n iness, BANTER FOR DAYS, so many plot twists, a grump of a hero, an amazing heroine, HORSES…UGH UGH UGH I am absolutely ruined in the best possible way.

My *only* gripe with this book is that this FMC is explicitly plus-sized in the book and Avon Books has once again put a thin model on the cover. The amount of money I would pay to see a plus-sized cover model on a Hissy really knows no bounds. Please publishers - we will buy them. Make your covers match the details of the book!!!

👍🏻RECOMMENDED. I’ll be diving into Eloisa James’s voluminous backlist now. See you on the other side.
