Romance Me, Viscount had such a charming cover and synopsis that I couldn't resist requesting it from NetGalley. It had a sweet premise and fun character names. All the sisters were named after Shakespearean heroines and the hero, Viscount Von Doren, made me picture Victor Von Doom every time I read his name. Imagine my disappointment when practically nothing happens and our couple doesn't kiss until the 92% mark! It held such potential because the heroine had a checklist for her future husband: "courage of Beowulf, the strength of Hercules, the derring-do of Robin Hood, as gallant as Sir Gawain, the depth of feelings of Shakespeare, and the stalwart heart of Henry the Fifth''. How cute is that? It's evident that her childhood friend is destined to fulfill that role, but she's got to kiss a few frogs before she recognizes her prince. Unfortunately, that parade of amphibians was arduous and overstayed its welcome.

I don't quite have the patience for closed door romances or those that move at such a glacial pace, but I can recognize the appeal. I don't believe I'll continue with this particular author, but I have found a hidden gem with Dragonblade Publishing. I love giving indie authors a chance and discovering what new stories they have to offer through a smaller publisher. I can't say I was thoroughly romanced by the viscount, but I'm willing to let a few kisses float past my radar.

Beatrice, very naively, believes she will find a knight in shining armor when she goes to London for her first season. Her neighbor Matthew goes to London as well, all the while trying to save her from embarrassing herself and her family. While they navigate the ton, they both come to appreciate each other more. I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for my honest review.

This book had Kate Archer's unique silliness, but multiple. I usually love her characters but Beatrice, her aunt, and sisters were way too silly and immature. No common sense or polish, which is explained by the aunt raising them. As always, I loved the servant's perspective on things. The book wasn't terrible, but it was long and at times I would have to take a break from it. I do plan to read the next book in the story.

A fun and engaging story to read. Beatrice is very fanciful and wants a fairytale match and she gets that with Matthew and so much more. I enjoyed the romance between them towards a lovely happily ever after.

There is lots of silliness from the girls and their aunt which I just found annoying and nearly DNF this story if I hadn't committed to review it I would have stopped after a few chapter's as it didn't hold m interest and frankly I didn't really care about the character's not my usual response to this author and I will skip the rest if it's in the same vane. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The start of this new series is looking to be an amazing one!

I love the way this author always brings humor into her reads which straight away grab you! The storyline comes alive with the witty moments and banter, yes there are some silly moments with the sisters but this is part of the added charm of the story.

Matthew and Beatrice’s story into love is a fun read one not to be missed and highly recommended.
I cannot wait for the next in the series!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Lady Beatrice Bennington is the eldest daughter of five girls. She and her sisters have rather grand romantic expectations from their future husbands thanks to their aunt who helped raise them. Their father, the Earl of Westmont, lets them, assuming they will eventually come to their senses.

After delaying the inevitable for two years, there’s nothing Matthew Lawson, Viscount Van Doren and closest neighbour to Westmont, can do but join the Benningtons in London for Bea’s first Season. He’s had a crush on her for over a decade, but somewhere along the way they drifted apart.

When Bea’s older brother immediately spots the perfect match between his eldest sister and his friend and neighbour, he sets out the ruse of all ruses to bring them together.

📚 This was a light and carefree comedy that, in my opinion, should have been a novella. Lots of silliness from the girls and their aunt, a bunch of charming gentlemen and all the twirl and whirl of a London Season. The story tends to repeat itself on several occasions, and then the happy end feels rather rushed. A happy-go-lucky tale forgotten as soon as it’s over.
📚 Childhood friends to lovers, no steam, grumpy/sunshine

Thank you to Kate Archer, Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley for this eARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

Romance Me, Viscount, is the most ridiculous rom com I've ever read. It's supposed to be though. Kinda like a spoof of a movie is ridiculous. I shook my head quite a bit but I did enjoy reading this book.

This was a simply amazing read I enjoyed every single moment and found myself to be totally blown away by both the characters and the plot which was so innovative and so cleverly written.

Romance Me, Viscount by Kate Archer

I was really surprised by the entire book. It started off very slowly and simply, but it definitely worth the book the read! Love the entire journey and the ending really left me speechless (Not spoiling the ending) but make sure you read this one, it's going to be an exciting journey!
