I liked this, but it was not one of my favourite Cat Sebastian books (not a negative, just a really high bar). 

I just love to see a starchy hero undone by a sunshine love interest. Phillip losing all of his stern demeanour in the face of Ben’s bright personality was just a delight to read. Phillip and Ben were so cute together and I loved the sense of community. This is one of those rare romances that actually works really well with the inclusion of kids. There’s also a dog and ducklings and lambs... absolutely adorable. 

I did feel like the pacing was a bit off, and Ben being technically engaged to Alice for most of the book made me a bit uncomfortable (even if it wasn’t a ‘real’ engagement). It didn’t really cause any conflict so I’m not sure why it was included. There were also more Americanisms than I’m used to from this author, which grated a bit. 

Still, this was charming and tender and delightfully low on angst, as expected from Cat Sebastian. If the idea of a gay Regency Sound of Music (minus the Nazis) appeals to you, then this will definitely be your cup of tea.

I was looking for something gay, mindless, and fun to read so I picked this and I ended up loving it way more than I thought I would. 

Honestly this was a very nice short read that had a lot of hot sex scenes and cute fluffy scenes in it mixed in with some emotional angst. It was a very good read tbh.
