Action adventure meets Regency romance in this feminist romp from New York Times Erica Ridley, perfect for fans of Manda Collins and Evie Dunmore. Bold, curvy Elizabeth Wynchester loves cuddling hedgehogs almost as much as she adores vanquishing villains with the sharp blade concealed inside her cane. Despite others' opinions about her body and gender, nothing will stop her from seeing justice done. When her next mission drops her at the dastardly Earl of Densmore's castle, she's prepared to duel like gentlemen--only to be locked inside! Her trusty sword cannot defeat the castle's hidden traps... or protect her heart from the devilishly handsome rogue guarding the keep. When reclusive inventor Stephen Lenox agreed to impersonate his cousin for a few days, he didn't expect the earl to vanish altogether. Nor could Stephen predict mounting death threats... or the arrival of a beguiling, blade-wielding spinster who declares herself his new bodyguard. As the earl's enemies lay siege to the castle, Stephen fights his way past Elizabeth's defenses. She'll share his bed, but when the adventure concludes, she vows to sever their affair. Unless he can somehow convince a swashbuckling siren to surrender her heart...

The books in this series keep getting better and better! I love the Wynchesters and every new member that joins so much. I read this in one sitting just because I did not want to stop the good time.
My elevator pitch for this book would be:
If you want a “super fun, low angst, silly, kind of campy, two quirky nerds with a lot heart and chemistry, put a smile on your face mood” book, add this to you tbr!
But silliness and Inspector Gadget castle aside, both of these characters were both so unapologetically weird and authentic. And watching them realize how they did not have to change a thing about themselves in order for the other person to love them is always wonderful to read and this series does that so well!
