emotional funny lighthearted fast-paced

I’d wager it’s physically impossible to read this novella and not smile. About a hundred times.

It was scrum-did-dly-ump-tious and just delightful.

The premise was so. good.—our heroine straight up invented a husband, except the name and address she used was a real guy and I guess they’ve been married this whole time? Let’s go 😆

I loved these characters—more than that, I loved their brains. I was truly transported into the mind of someone else while reading this, and it was magical.

Spencer was such a Good Boi. Him thinking his house had been designed by a “lusty architect” because the lord and lady’s bedrooms share a dressing room just pops randomly into my head at least once a week. I loved how his POV became almost incoherent with horniness around Winnie. And his romance strategy was basically: ‘maybe if I eat her out enough, she’ll love me back.’ Of course I was cheering for him 😆

And Winnie was such a sweet yet conniving BAMF. Her mind was always planning, reaching, hustling, and she was thinking of so many things as once, it was fascinating. Her backstory and her journey was so compelling, it was impossible not to root for her.

I loved how good these two were, in different and compatible ways. And just how soft they were for each other. This book was pure sweetness. I loved it!
