This was exactly the quick, fun read I needed right now! Nonstop action, nonstop romance. Sure, we don’t know anything about Adelaide or Henry outside their little romance bubble, and the ending was so rushed I can barely process it…but hey, at least it was fun!

I complain about Sarah Maclean's work and the oft tired tropes I personally feel she relies too heavily on, but I do read quite a lot of it. Overall, her latest works for me, though there's a reliance on telling the audience about their respective back stories rather than showing. Adelaide and Henry balance each other out well though, and I liked the overarching themes of this series.
