Much more than a romance novel

I totally enjoyed this book in so many ways! You may come to it wanting a love story, and it delivers a compelling one, but you get a whole lot more. Great world building. Well developed characters. Strong feminist themes. And it’s a trope-buster! The typical “regency romance” conceit has really been turned on its head and it’s full of moments where the plot zigs when you expect it to zag. But the book also knows exactly what it is and remains true to its characters and their world. I couldn’t put it down. Very highly recommended for all fans of the genre, especially if you’re looking for a story with a fresh pov.

Sapphic Princesses

4.5 Stars A fantastic choice to start 2026--on the 1 yr release anniversary no less. Temperance isn't your typical Princess and this is definitely not your typical fairy-tale. Characters are deep and feel genuine in their exploration of secret and not-so-secret sapphic love. The dramatic irony is perfection when the political intrigue starts to unfold and a plan is needed to thwart the Queen's plans of revenge. A great story from start to finish!

WOW…An unexpected, captivating delight!

OMG, this book! You really fall in love with the characters and root for their romance so hard! I LOVED that it made me laugh nearly as much as it made me cry (and I did plenty of both) and that it kept going places I wasn’t expecting it to. Great twists! For me it had just the right amount of spice. It’s somehow both sexy and innocent at the same time if that makes any sense. It’s sort of a slow burn to start but god, then the drama and intrigue really amp up and the ending is immensely satisfying. What a journey. I can’t wait for more!!
