I wish this book was more explicit. Sex and innuendo is such an integral part of their battle of wills but the descriptions of their sexy times is so tame!!

The walking stick conversation! 😳

As soon as Ada described the fox-like creature, I was like..that sounds like a Líese. And it was!!

Amazing characterization, in just the first chapter! This is how it’s done.

“What I give, I give freely. You owe me nothing.” 😭😭😭

He had to choose that sonnet by Browning!! 😭😭😭😭 Why the heck there isn’t a swoon emoji?

What I don’t like about this woman is that she’s been behaving like there are no consequences for her. How can she been this effing dumb?

Not impressed with this dude in bed. He seemed too trigger happy!!

I thought this was going to be sexier…so far, the only love scene so far was a bit meh…

I can get her being afraid of going out, but afraid of sex too?

This man doesn’t think of his wife! 🤬🤬🤬

So far, there has been no ravishing.

I’m expecting a LOT of groveling

This poor woman!

Servants don’t find their masters fondling their wives and stay to talk! They turn around and flee the room! That wouldn’t be appropriate today, let alone back then. 🤬 What’s wrong with these authors??

Sleeping until 2pm was normal for nobles who spent the night carousing! How is she surprised by this?

So he sleeps over almost daily and they go out together (to eat, to swim) and they think they’re just fuck buddies? People, this is dating! 🙄

Still no fucking benefits!!

Taking a while to get to the “benefits” part of the plot. They haven’t even kissed yet!

10/10 on the wedding night!! This is how it's done. ;)

I'm still curious why she's supposedly in love with the guy. She doesn't know anything about him, except that he's hot.

Her client's husband is not a good man but are you telling me that a man cheating is the worst she's seen in a divorce court? How can she be a good lawyer if she's taking every case so personally?

You want to go slow??? The book is 2/3 done for fuck’s sake.

Ugh! This woman making up problems when she’s the one doing shitty stuff behind his back!

Why did we learn just now that he’s a pediatrician? I melted when he brought out the stuffed penguin with the lab coat to show the children in her class! 😭

Looking forward to the sexy times with this piercing. ☺️

Did they housekeeper enter the room after he just deflowered his wife and instead of leaving immediately, stopped to ask questions? While he’s still inside her? 😳😳😳

This is so ridiculous so far that I’d DNF it but I want to see where it’s going.

So her father found a way to get out of debtor’s prison and destitution by marrying her to a Duke and she’s complaining?? Oh baby Jesus, this is unbelievable. 🤣🤣🤣

So far most of the love scenes have been fade to black. WTF?
