The Belle of Belgrave Square

Sometimes you just need a cheesy dramatic regency romance to really hit the spot.

Honestly, I don't actually read this genre often, but that might be something I need to change. This had all the usual tropes of the genre, which is what usually turns me away (misogyny (whether heavy or light is always there), small “fragile” woman with a big “strong” man, shotgun weddings, etc...) but this time I just had a really good time with it. I adored Julia and Jasper's relationship and how they obviously felt so much for each other even though they were trying to deny it.

I thought I had to twist figured out from all the (intentionally misleading) clues throughout the book, but the actual reveal REALLY got me. This isn't a particularly tense or breathtaking story but I don't think it needs to be. I was very much entertained the whole time.
