Love Language
by Emma Hart
I was a tiny bit leery due to the last part of the synopsis, sometimes the British English can be a bit confusing for me when I’m reading just a fun story. But other than one or two words I had to Google, I didn’t have any issues with this in that way! The image above my review kind of is perfect to go along with one of the quotes that I had to save from the book.
“Stop Queen Victoria! She’s going on a rampage!”
So the hilarious aunt in this story had two goats, the names in the excerpt above, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. So just their names alone made for some laugh out loud moments in this story. But as usual it was more than that from this author that made me fall in love with the story. First you have wonderful characters. They have some of the best thoughts and ideas and of course dialogue. One of my favorite parts of any Emma Hart book is the banter, filled with sarcasm and wit, and that was here in spades! Also as you would expect in this author’s book you have wonderful secondary characters, ones that you know will have their own books since this is the first in a series! Yay! And family members, especially the more elderly ones, such as Aunt Cat, and even Miles’s grandfather are a part of the story that we don’t miss out on, as Hart writes them in such fun ways!
This being set in England has a different aspect to the story, with your true aristocracy that one doesn’t truly have in the US. And that was a fun change. Oh, speaking of side characters, there is even a young girl, Gabriella’s nieces, who adds some of the fun to the story. I liked the things we learned about her that are leading into the next story as well.
My only complaint, what made it a 4.5 instead of full 5 stars for me, was that the ahem, steamy scenes, weren’t quite as many as I think we get usually. It was a little sweeter romance overall in that way. Which might be more of a British type of thing? Maybe? I don’t know. But overall I adored this, a smile on my face as I read and loved the whole thing.
