Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review

This felt like such a guilty pleasure fantasy and I read it in one night! It had all the things I love: we already know they're gonna get together, she's taken to his dark and brooding castle but she's wilful and stubborn and fights him at every turn. And slowly, slowly they fall in love.

Okay maybe I take back the slowly because although I loved every emotional scene, every argument scene, I feel like perhaps I missed the bit where they really fell in love - I believed when they hated each other, and I believed it when they were happy together - but I just think the middle ground moment was missing for me.

However, the snappiness of both characters was perfect, I LOVED that he enjoys gardening, and the friendships were so cute too! Was so lovely to read, so will see if I can get my hands on the other books!
