Great representation for the south Asian characters as well as the Jamaican characters. I thought Anya was the most fiery character, well outside of what would have been appropriate for the time period. This book gave me enemies-to-lovers vibes but also grumpy/sunshine. The inheritance was a fun plot device and there were so many twists I didn’t see coming. One of the best historical romances I’ve read that focuses on a lot more than just the romance aspect. Loved the wider cast, the author did a great job at really fleshing out everyone’s personality.
