I'd always thought that Severin was a freaking arse but turns out he's also a cinnamon roll and no wonder, Devon and him seems to get a long so much.

What I like the most of the story is that Cassandra love to reads books so much and also points that by reading books you can get a lesson from it that you can apply to the real world which is true in my part, also the discussion of the body, by which Cassandra seemed to be insecure because she's gaining weight which I also strongly believe that weight shouldn't be a hindrance to be a beautiful person as beauty doesn't only reflect from the bodily aspect but also from the heart.

I somehow wished I have Severin's photographic memory.

I love this story so much and hoping for another great historical romance from Lisa Kleypas.

This was such a sweet book, I liked that there were no lies or misunderstandings, just two people trying their best.
And Bazzle, that would be my only criticism, I wanted more Bazzle.

Review haiku:

Autistic hero!
But, yay! it’s not a “big deal”
Result: Joy, joy, joy!

No, but really, it’s so refreshing to recognise a non-neurotypical protagonist and see them just be accepted and loved without handwringing.

I am so glad I read this book. This one was for me in almo t every way. I loved the characters and the way their relationship grows. It isn't a rushed romance and the characters spend time getting to know and appreciate each other. Also, I have empathy for a person who wants to be candid and has problems identifying emotions. I found Tom's constant confusion over emotions and Cassandra's interest in a meaningful relationship of respect and admiration endearing.

Plus, Tom gives amazing book summaries.

The mathematics stuff was a little too corny, though.

The fact that Tom Severin first wants to marry Cassandra because she is beautiful definitely helped thwart the insta-love problem. As a book-loving, mechanical engineer named Cassandra who is sometimes told she can lack some feeling, the way the lovers bond and get to know each other over a broken heater was delightful. I love that he read his first book and started to enjoy frivolities for Cassandra. There's nothing sexier than a man who listens to women. I was also really excited that Cassandra got to list a bunch of interests she has besides books. The contract scene was perfect and a delightful way to build the relationship given the confines of a romance novel.
