This was such a sweet, fun historical romance and the second in the Rogues to Lovers series from this author. Poppy Summers is a young woman trying to keep her family afloat (her mother died, her father is ill and her brother is too undependable) by selling her fishing catch at the local community market. She discovers an injured man on her beach who claims he was attacked and also claims to be a duke. As a bid to find his enemy, Poppy agrees 🔻

robinb to hide him (for a fee, of course), and thus begins a friends-to-lovers adventure which leads to London. While this was not perfect nor the mystery hard to solve, I enjoyed both mains very much. Poppy was strong, intelligent and resilient, and Keane is a charming and lovable rogue. Looking forward to more from Ms. Bennett. 4/5⭐️ One personal note…I ❤️ when the cover exactly matches how I pictured the characters. 😊 1y
