I really enjoyed this book! Our heroine is ‘Georgie’, raised in India. A feisty, caring, adventurous, yoga-practicing free spirit and I just loved her. Our hero, Ian, is a Marquess and diplomat sent to India to end a war before it begins.

This book takes place half in India and half in England, and I must say, I loved the change of scenery. India, and the events that take place there, are described in perfect detail. I could picture the exotic dishes being served for dinner, the change of clothing from corsets and dresses, without it being too descriptive. (Ever read a book with such long descriptions you no longer care what anything looks like 😂 ??)

There’s a moderate amount of action in the book, which I usually don’t like as much, but I enjoyed it in this story. It didn’t take over the story but was enough to move the plot along and keep you entertained.

I found Ian to be a hero of layers that I came to love over the course of the book. You couldn’t really get a good feel for his character in the beginning, as he was quite calm, cool, collected and closed off. Towards the end I found him to be such a wonderful hero. I loved his dialogue with Georgie and his flirty banter.

The first two almost love scenes were wonderful. Just steamy, detailed, surprisingly hot. I do wish the author would have spent the same amount of time on the first real scene, as it was extremely short and glossed over.

While the book didn’t drag on, I did catch myself wondering if a part of the book at the end was even needed. It wasn’t a large part of the story until that point and at 411 pages in I was just wondering where it came from. I thought it could have been resolved with a bit less drama. But still I didn’t mind it, it just didn’t really fit to me.
