Another fantastic read. One bed trope? No, it’s two, but it’s better. Super funny, cute, I love the world expansion. Open door romance but avoidable if needed. Can’t wait for the next one (don’t worry it’s already sitting on my shelf). It made me appreciate the first book more too

This was exactly the right level of "spice" for me: not too explicit with descriptions for my ace brain & didn't feel like porn. Very sweet couple the way they both save each other and have complementary childhood trauma . Felt very late bloomer coming-of-age to me which I loved. I really identified with Charlotte 💙

This one didn't quite hit me as well as the other two but I still enjoyed being back in this world and look forward to future books (set in any world) from Holton.

This was super cute and honestly hysterical! I am not the biggest fan of anything regency/historical in nature and the worldbuilding/magic system was a little silly to me, but I loved the romance and the main characters and the funny dialogue. It was a refreshing read and quite different from my usual books so I had a good time!

What an absolute delight! This was so much more fun now that I’m actually familiar with the world and series style — there’s no plot, it’s just action. And I’m here for it! I adored the characters, the quirky little details, and the swoon-worthy romance. It all somehow comes together into one non-stop romantic adventure. A perfect way to jump start my fall reading!

I went into this serious blind, but I will say I was surprised at how spicy it was as it's labelled as historical fiction. From the start it's quite action packed, it did have parts of comtemplation sandwiched into the more medium and fast paced scenes. This book is hilarious, being only somewhat familiar with the historical usages of words I'm sure there were some jokes I missed out on but there were enough modern plays on words that I wasn't entirely lost. The worldbuilding was very rich and I felt fully immersed in the world. The main couples being the sunshines to their own grumpiness was very sweet, being in forced proximity made the relationship between them develop quicker than I would've expected and that is kinda of adressed. The support characters were quite fleshed out, especially the Butler, we love supportive friends! Following on from that found family is another big part of the polt due to the main characters upbringings. Without spoiling too much them literally saving each other time after time was a nice touch, they did it both physically and emotionally. I really liked this installment of the series and look forward to the rest of them, the end was wrapped up nicely but not too neatly, leaving room for more possibilities to be explored. Relistening is definitely something that would happen when a pick me up is needed!
