“I’m conceited?There’s literally no one on this planet more arrogant than you”
“The difference between you and me is,I own it. I don’t pretend I’m Little Miss Perfect, then go around destroying people’s lives”
[...]
“He was never cruel.He doesn’t have a cruel bone in his body,and he would never have cut you out of his life as callously as you did to him”
this,this is what bothers me about her, thank you Miles

"Out of curiosity, how old do you think I am?”
He shrugs in that way five-year-olds do when posed a question they’ve never given any thought to before replying. “Fifty?”
“Do you know how old your daddy is? Or Uncle Miles?”
He shrugs again, “Fifty?”
Max 😂

The book is good but I'm not crazy about Sophie, I don't dislike her but tho I'm trying I just don't particularly like her, looks like her entire personality is whining about Hendricks
The family moments tho are always great.
“I don’t know how you’ve not been punched more, Milo.” Alex chuckles.
Miles’s response is a drawled, “I know when to dodge.”

from regency romance with the wonderful funny family of a rich duke, to contemporary romance with the wonderful funny family of a rich duke 😋

P.S. the fmc behavior didn't win me in the previous book, but she recognizes right away she didn't handle things in the right way so that's good

“And if anyone wants to say in my hearing that Wulfric is a cold man and feels no deep emotion, I am here to argue with that person.”
you and me both girl!

P.S. do I have to get up at 5 am tomorrow? yes. Have I been reading late in the night instead of sleeping? Also yes.

When they're terribly attracted to one another but wish they weren't

If a lightning bolt had crashed to earth between them the air could not have crackled with greater tension.
“More and more,” he said, more to himself than to her, it seemed, “I regret that I came here. And before you contrive to have the last word, Mrs. Derrick, I daresay you regret it too—that I came, that you came.”

She was laughing at him again. Nobody ever laughed at him. He found himself curiously intrigued that she would dare.

Please book, Wulf is my favorite character, I'll try to manage my expectations but don't disappoint me and keep to the level of the others, I beg of you! (always there's so much worry over the most awaited book)

How can every scene become THE BEST every time Wulf is in it? The way he commands the space he's in and every single thing that comes out of his mouth has me 🤭🫠

“I am humbled,” Freyja said, “and now understand why at the age of five and twenty I am still unwed. I daresay it is my nose. I shall not weep here, ma’am—you must not fear that I will draw attention to you. I shall wait until I am in my own room at Lady Holt-Barron’s. I brought six handkerchiefs with me to Bath. That should be a sufficient number.”
I did not think I would like Freyja so much 😂

I don't know why I adore so much to read about ton gatherings, balls, promenades, social calls and such, but I do.
And I can't believe I'm saying this but Freyja seems better than the mmc for now, if he could just stop winking and smirking and "sweetheart" all the time, maybe I just need to warm up to him and see some character exploration

I have to force myself to stop reading and go to sleep, it's late

Some elements are not very realistic, but I already feel attachment to the characters and having fun

“Does he show any sign of taking anybody’s daughter to the altar?”
“Wulf?” he said, “Not him. And pity help the woman he decided to offer for. He would freeze her between the bedsheets.”

Is it any wonder I'm liking this mmc and am beyond eager to get to Wulf book? 🤭

I have no idea if I actually like the romance or not. I think I find it ok enough but I also have some issues and I'm not crazy about with it, but at the same time the book is so addicting (in a different way and a bit less than the previous one maybe but still addicting) and I can't stop reading. It'll be tough to decide between 3 and 4 stars

The romance and the mc are not as great as the previous book (the mc is ok, but I don't always like him, and their relationship is not as captivating and beautiful [Kit was a gem with Lauren]), but the book and the series are for sure addicting and enjoyable, I don't think I'll actually read all the series back to back but for now I can't stop reading

“Do my eyes deceive me, Fleming?” Bewcastle asked pleasantly. “Or is my carriage really not awaiting me before the doors?”

Wolf is an uptight a**hole, and yet there's something definitely attractive about him and his a**holery amuses me a lot. His book will be the most anticipated.

I feel like Eve and Aidan are a bit more stereotypical characters and not particularly captivating to me, still, they are alright and the story seems really enjoyable, I expect to like the book even if it won't be at the level of the previous one

"I promised you adventure, did I not? And passion? We need to be alone together if I am to keep the promise. We are going to begin tonight in the rose arbor. You are going to be kissed.”
“It would be most improper”
“I will try my best to see that it is”

Great romance development and likable characters with depth and
layers? This might be a 5 stars

“I am not asking for your pity, I need only to be accorded the privilege that men expect as a natural right—to be allowed to live my life my way without having those who claim to love me forever knowing better than I what it is that will make me happy. I want to be alone and independent. If I ruin my reputation this summer, I will achieve that for which I ought not to have to fight.”
I really like Lauren

"I thought my actions were rather heroic. So did the lad.”
She stared at him, obviously speechless.
“You see, I was a boy once myself.”
“Once? You mean you have grown up?”

there's good banter; but to the serious matters, he messed up bad and will have to work hard to earn her and prove himself because once he falls completely in love with her (and it's starting), she won't easly believe him

Historical, be it romance or fantasy, is the genre that worked the most for me so far this year, and this book already seems really good 🥰.
The books of this series will be the ones to read when the historical mood strikes.

I did not expect much but damn it's bad, like really bad 😖🥶
I won't make it to the end cause I don't see why I should do this to myself

To be honest, I'm not getting into it expecting it to be particularly good, I just hope for a good time kind of read, but I'm not terribly hopeful, still 🤞

Nice, but my expectations might have been too high

Oh no... I enjoy both the mc and their stories, the romance is nice, nothing too crazy for me but nice. But the scene I just read was just such a big pet peeve of mine that I have too much second hand embarrassment right now. I hope the aftermath makes me forget it so it won't impact my rating too much
