Oh my had me hooked from the start. I love a good wallflower story, this one was excellent. Fast paced amazing characters and steamy! My favourite things. Excited about the rest of the cousins too!!

I love a GrumpsxSunshine story and this did not disapoint. I liked that a main character was potrayed with anxiety and she had growth in her self as the story went on (also glad it highlighted that growth is not always linear).

I love a good historical romance and the adventure got me with this one! This take on a grumpy x sunshine was whimsical and such a fun read. I loved the touch into Indian culture and the representation of anxiety and panic attacks. Really well done!

When a mysterious artifact draws danger to their doorstep, a reluctant viscount must choose between a life of adventure and the woman who has captured his heart.

If you want some yearning from your men... look no further than Lord Waring.

Lady Eleanor absolutely abhors the social season. She would rather be a wallflower where no one notices her than be mocked and judged for her social failings. Just when she thinks that Lord Waring would finally give up on his advances towards her, she learns of a mysterious item that might be tied to her. She must decide if the risk of her heart is worth it for an adventure of a lifetime.

I loved Eleanor as a character, her social avoidance and her anxiety during the social season was really well written. The depiction of anxiety with the physical symptoms really made me feel like I was experiencing it with her. I loved how strong and brave she was to overcome her fears and continuing to move forward.

Thank you for a digital copy of this ARC.

Wonderful!

This was such a fun book. It had romance and adventure, plus great setting and characters too. I thought the plot was creative and fun. A curse and treasure, count me in! I also really liked the romance here. It's paced perfectly and will make you swoon. Their chemistry was hot and definitely showed in the steamier moments.

This was a blast from start to finish. Definitely recommend!
