I wasn't sure if I would like regency romance, but I decided to give this one a shot because who doesn't love banter-y enemies to lovers with a sex pact??!!

Overall, it was fun, but there were times when I felt like it was dragging. I usually don't really care about how realistic a story is, but I was really laughing at some of the girlbossification of the women in this book. It takes place in the freaking 1800s, like I promise you no woman was acting like this.

I loved the sex positivity and communication between the two main characters.

Regardless, like I said, it was fun! I enjoyed it for the most part, and the ending made me feel good, so that's really all I can ask for.

Also, I wish men had thought processes like this in real life because he was so sweet and just went on and on about the littlest things he loved about her. GOD PLEASE GIVE ME A MAN LIKE HIM!!!!!!!!

Thank you Atria and NetGalley for the free copy!
