Minerva and Colin fake their engagement and leave Spindle Cove in order to get Minerva to Scotland for a geology symposium because she has discovered proof of 'dragons' (probably dinosaurs) and wants to present her findings. Along the way Colin continually makes up outlandish stories about who they are to anyone they meet, all to varying degrees of success, and thus shenanigans ensue.
This is a must read for any historical romance fan, and even if you just want a silly fun romance - I highly recommend it!

I was so close to DNFing at the start, when Colin was spouting fake love to Minerva when he had just come from bed with another woman, who was still there and laughed. However, I'm so glad I pushed through.
This book was hilarious, a little whimsical/bonkers, and, to top it all off, wonderfully sweet. I adored that it wasn't "I knew all along," but instead there was gentle learning and falling in love. There was no love at first sex, but little moments that tied them together. And the banter was amazing - it really left me smiling and feeling giddy.
