Honestly this could’ve been three stars but there were other reads recently I gave three stars (or at least rounded down) that were definitely better than this so it didn’t seem right to give it three. There was definitely a promising book here, it just felt a bit lazy or tired.

Basically, I thought this was going to be a fun romp, but it fell rather flat. It was very short so you may assume nothing happened, but unfortunately so much was happening that it was very surface level all around. The romance didn’t do much for me, there was a misused aka not used at all sex club, stressful flashbacks, a current villain ???, and then the preparing his sisters for society plot was just randomly dropped.

Mary Jane Wells was back with her Welsh accent, but alas it didn’t give me any of the Marrying Winterborne feels. I did love her narration though. And this is a tricky two star book because I definitely didn’t hate it. There wasn’t really a third act breakup, and while a bit thin, the romance was at least sweet. I also liked the last line before the epilogue. Plus, book three sounds SO GOOD!!
