This book is definitely one of those romances you can tell was written in the 90s. The guy character has good intentions, but he’s... a really alpha male type of character.


But usually while that stuff annoys me, I actually had 0 issues with it this time. This book was a gold old time, and the amnesia trope? Chefs kiss. Also this is my first Lisa Kleypas book. I actually tried to read both: Marrying Winterbourne and Secrets of a Summer Night, but I think I started the series wrong with the Ravenels, and I wasn’t in the mood for a historical when reading the first book in the Wallflower series. I deemed off Lisa Kleypas telling myself she wasn’t for me, but this book was just calling for me.


I’m glad I tried more of her stuff because this is just golden historical romance. It was pretty trashy, but a good type of trashy and I’ll definitely be reading more from Lisa Kleypas.
