Say Yes to the Marquess by Tessa Dare
4.5
emotional funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This, like every Dare I've read, was so fun. She finds a way to always pack an emotional gut punch about midway through, when some not-so-lighthearted trauma shows up, and this was no exception. This was a delightful childhood friends-to-lovers-but-she's-engaged-to-his-brother romp, and while I wished for a bit more of their initial storyline to show up on page in some way, I still had a great time watching them finally choose one another. It's always "I love you" and never "I filled an entire room in your castle with cake just for you," sigh.
