In Rachel Rowan's Entitled Love novellas, elements of regency romance such as elegant homes and clever conversation between beautiful, aristocratic people, are interwoven into modern, spicy romantic comedies.

In book 3, Untouched, we meet the beautiful and intelligent, Sophia Clements. However, she is socially awkward (possibly neurodiverse) has no friends and has never had a boyfriend. She masks this by being distant and glacial.

When a colleague from America, asks to meet up, she has hopes of romance.

A sarcastic comment from the Honourable Jay Orton, inspires Sophia to seek lessons in how to have a boyfriend.

Rather shockingly, she approaches Jay. He is a rather jaded, dissolute playboy who needs a large amount of money, quickly.

So when Sophia offers £45,000 for lessons on holding hands, kissing, and all the way up to full intercourse, he rapidly agrees!

With a start like that, this story could have been grim.
Instead, the book is delightful.

Jay is kind and rapidly becomes a close friend. He is dedicated to boosting Sophia's self-esteem, as he very gently helps her to explore her sexuality.

As the lessons proceed, emotions and (possibly unrequited) romantic feelings start to intrude.

This is such a lovely, surprisingly romantic book. I've already read it twice!

As a neurodiverse person, I felt that the author had a great deal of insight into my world!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
