This is very slow. I’m almost halfway through and nothing has happened. Mmc’s walls haven’t started to come down.

I’m tired of the, “Lisette is so wonderful and deserves happiness while fmc has to fight her feelings for mmc.” It’s exhausting. The mmc has been clear he doesn’t want Lisette. The only thing he hasn’t done is make a scene in front of the whole town that he isn’t interested in Lisette.

The way the main characters keep fighting their feelings is about to make me DNF this book. It’s not done well.

I love the audiobook voice actors but the story is dry. Hard to stay engaged.

This has a slow start.

So far I am intrigued by the story

I decided to give this series another chance, and I just do not like it. I am not a fan of the fmc.

I really like this book this time around.

Mmc choosing not to communicate and get answers is annoying. Lots of assumptions. It is repetitive

I am enjoying this book a lot. I do feel like the fmc is keeping the mmc away from her cousin because she wants him. The party is supposed to be for her cousin to find a husband but the fmc won’t leave her cousin alone with the mmc. She leaves her alone with the other suitors.

This mystery has been slower. I do like the Scottish cousins and all the antics to get rid of the Americans.

Of course now we have the miscommunication/lack of communication trope which I HATE. Fmc is acting like a child quoting her job and trying to flee. She has a baby on the way with no job, support system, or a place to live. All this because she panicked and acted like a kid.

Mmc lacks confidence. He does not exude B.A. military man.
This started off strong and I was really excited about the story. I love the tropes in this book. The execution was boring.

I just do not like the fmc

The FMC is so ANNOYING. She is stubborn and doesn’t listen to anyone. She thinks she knows it all but is out of her depth.

I want to like this book. It’s just boring.

This has a Pride and Prejudice vibe. The miscommunication/lack of communication why mmc wants to marry the fmc is getting old. Fmc is acting like a petulant child.

I’m getting a glimpse of Foster and I can’t stand him. Everything that comes out of his mouth is trash.

This is my 4th Piper Rayne book and so far someone has died in all of them. It’s always some beloved parent. Is this a theme in all her books?

Reading the book and listening to the audiobook. The narrator has a horrible voice. Ruins the book.

Names and writing style are not regency. The author even seems confused by the names. Idk if I will keep reading. Every time I read this book it takes me out of the era.

The only thing going on in this book is the fmc and mmc want to get it on. The rest of the story has taken a backseat. I’m just bored with this book. I’ve switched to the audiobook to get through it even though I hate Erin Mallon’s narrations.

I listened to this before but couldn’t remember the last 40%. Listening again to refresh my memory for part 2.

So far I like it. Feels like I’m watching something on BritBox or Acorn tv. I’m intrigued

Hard to be compassionate to the fmc when she keeps playing the angry-pity card on why her college bf dumped her. He wanted to focus on studying. It’s not like he wanted to see other people.

Already some things are bugging me. The fmc picks up a figurine and something red and wet is on her hands. All the women I know would have immediately washed their hands. They would have washed the figurine or thrown it away. Then the FMC answers the coworker’s phone. That is not done in business. You let it go to voicemail. People’s work phone and cubicle is their sacred space.

I feel like I jumped to the middle of a story. Many unanswered questions.

This one is slow. Hard to get into
