⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think I ended up liking this one more than the first - it's hard to put my finger on how, but she draws me in right off the bat. I love the humor & wit she gives her characters, and the romance is a good blend of realistic and romanticized. It's clear that Irwin loves this time period, and these books feel well-researched, settled in their time period, but also contemporary.
I'm looking forward to more from this author!
