"A marriage of convenience could suit them both."
"Breakfast was the most necessary meal, in her grandmother's opinion, for it set one up for the day"
For fans of Bridgerton but with softer vibes ... less spicy let's say but with the really same purpose and setting, this book is for you!
I absolutely loved this book!
It was exactly what I needed ... a soft, interesting, historical romance about a young woman who wants to marry for love or , instead, live as a spinster writing ...
Most readers' dream, I'm afraid!
I loved each and every character and the writing-style made the plot easy to get through and to follow!!
I loved how independent Thea is and how much she cares for other's stories, and her grandmama ... an icon!
Ash is a great love interest and the fact that this book involved a forced-proximity trope as well as a sudden strategic marriage ... well this should say it all!!
The reading felt sure but simply because it got into it, right after the fast few pages, and it kept me captivated till the very end.
I can't wait for this to be published and possibly read more about it.
"Do you object to marrying me, or just the idea of marriage, Thea?"
"He was the man of her dreams, even though she rather thought of him as a lover and not a husband"

Theodosia has no intention to marry. Instead she plans to write articles for the newspaper. When she overhears a plot to murder someone, she is forced to work with the handsome Ashton to try to stop the murder. Ashton, who works for the home office, finds himself more and more attracted to Theo as the story evolves. I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for my honest review.
