like a 3.75! i had some problems here and there (like how dramatic the 3rd act conflict felt compared to the tone of the rest of the book, and also how

the driver who fucking DIED for Eddy to live never got a name like he was just "the Chinese driver" in narration and because of how little book there was left Eddy's reaction felt like "damn thats sad........ anyway time to get married :D"

, and also Rhine's general possessiveness but like that's just a trope in historical romance at this point and I know other people are into it so like.. shrug) but otherwise it was a good romance set in a time period i dont usually read from and with really unique and interesting stakes!!
