And I'm done for March! #WickedWords @AsYouWish
This is a sweet romantic fantasy-magic novella set in Englandtimes.
“Also, they say the ducal estate of Storm has the finest library in all the Isles. Three thousand volumes!”
“A fine library does increase the appeal of any potential husband,” Mneme conceded. She thought better of Miss Agnew, that she counted the library as a bonus to a gentleman‘s appeal. “If only one could be sure that he had ever read a book.”“

This was something! While there were still some classic Hazelwood elements (tall, dark male… tiny female… both smart) this went more into them being exceptional athletes with a side of kink exploration. The issues with the best friend/ex seemed to flow realistically and I liked the conclusion. The epilogue read a little weirdly, but that‘s fine. Did get my final March #wickedwords -Pen!

I'm afraid I'm Ms Unpopular Opinion for this book too, though it's not a wall-throw like Lessons in Chemistry.
The pace was glacial. Major moments of what should be emotional or character-changing events were skipped (totally skipped, as in time-jumped). The character had zero agency and less character. She was just buffeted around by life, and learned almost nothing.

I read this for review, which usually means that I don‘t post about it here. BUT in this case, it turns out that it is my #doublespin , and covered 4 #wickedwords (manager, sea breeze, and surprisingly meet-cute as well as guests from Feb). And that‘s all I‘ll say about it here 😉
The writing is beautiful. No denying that. But I also cannot deny being lost quite a bit and just blindly fumbling through this one. #wickedwords - scar
