Thanks to Atria (via NetGalley) for the ARC!

This was a fun, super quick read, and if you liked the other two books in the Regency Vows series, I think you'll like this one.

I haven't read a lot of marriage of convenience romances because I usually read contemporary romance, and (personally) think the trope doesn't always make a lot of sense in a modern context. But it obviously makes a lot more sense in a Regency setting when marriage could be more of a contract than a love match, especially among the aristocracy.

I think it was done well in this book, and I enjoyed the story as well as the characters. I don't have a lot of deep thoughts on it, but I liked how both Julian and Emily's feelings changed over the course of the book. And I enjoyed the "oh crap, I'm in love with my husband/wife" moment that always comes with a marriage of convenience romance.

There was nothing particularly mind blowing about this book, but it was an enjoyable, quick read and a fun distraction for a couple days. But that's all I expect out of these books, so I can't complain!

I was excited to hear that there would be two more books (at least) in this series, because I enjoy Waters' writing, so I'm looking forward to Penvale's book next year, and then Sophie and West's the year after
