Kate Daltry is struggling to keep her father's estate up and running, and her tenants safe from the wrath of her evil stepmother when she gets an unexpected opportunity. To help her half-sister Victoria, Kate must go to a ball disguised as Victoria herself so she will be able to marry the man she loves. When Kate arrives at the castle, she meets Gideon the Prince and despite herself, can't help the attraction and chemistry that blossoms between them. But how can a penniless spinster like Kate ever hope to marry a Prince?

This was my first read adventure with reading a 'regency romance' book and I have to say I throughly enjoyed this one. I really liked Kate, despite some of her opinions on women who apparently had sex before marriage (that opinion didn't last too long hey Kate?) and I felt she was plucky and ready for the challenges life faced her. We also got to see more tender sides of her, such as some conversations she has with her godmother Henry and we see emotion take its toll.

There are some parts of this book that have to be taken with a pinch of salt, and there were not many surprises in store for the reader.It's obvious how everything will turn out from the start but even with that, I just enjoyed the time it took to get there. I wasn't reading this for the sex parts of the book so the only few cases of a bit of 'smut' didn't bother me. I enjoyed the dialogue between Kate and Gideon and how they bounced off one another, and how the relationship evolved over a course of a few days.

This was just a lot of fun and a wonderful world to fall into during quarantine times so I really loved all the smiles and laughs it gave me. I'll definitely be continuing on with the series.
