Should I read in order?
I believe this is a stand alone novel.

Basic plot:
Daisy meets a marquess during her first season

Give this a try if you want:
- Late Regency (1821)
- compromised heroine
- shorter novel (goodreads has it as 131 pages)
- character focused romance (no villain or mystery to solve)
- you’re okay with a bit of miscommunication as a problem point
- lower steam – a few on page scenes but all are quite short and vague

Ages:
- hero is 32, not sure about heroine but would guess early 20s

First line:
The Marquess of Ashton tried to hide the yawn behind his hand, but knew he wasn’t going to fool any of his friends he ran into.

My thoughts:
Unfortunately this one didn’t work for me at all. I found the writing really unpalatable and dry. I was told somethings about the couple but found myself not caring for much. The sex is really light, but everything else was too. The plot holds itself together with a miscommunication trope. The beginning had a promising start but ultimately this one wasn’t one I was interested in.

Content warnings:

Stroke? And death of grandparent

Locations of kisses/intimate scenes:

 
Safe sex: No but they are married and trying to conceive. I didn’t log all the scenes because most were extremely light and vague with only a sentence or two to mention it.
69% - food play oral for her, missionary followed by more brief and vague scenes
