My new favorite author
Dare does an incredible job of introducing us to, and peeling back the layers of her characters. Characters I can’t help but love. Including strong female characters who defy societal expectations for the time.
This like the first book in this series surprised me at every turn. She does not follow the common and tired path most romance novels do.
I love how sexy these books are without feeling objectifying.

I've read this before, and I'll keep rereading it, because Spindle Cove is possibly my favorite place in historic romances.
LOVE THEM ALL.
LOVE THEM ALL.

My inner scientist loved this bodice-ripper centered around a young woman geologist. It was a ridiculous jaunt, but very enjoyable and easy to read. I wish we'd gotten a bit more science & a little less ingenue from Minerva, but it was still a fun read!

I adored the main characters and their witty banter. I am not certain why I was not more immersed in this. An enjoyable read for sure but without that lovely tingly feeling I get with my very favorite romances where I can't stand to stop reading. I cannot identify a single thing about this I did not enjoy, 100% a worthy read. Still I found myself not really connecting with the speed at which Minerva found her inner power, sexual curiosity, and general confidence and with which Colin was utterly reformed. I high 3 star, closing in on a 4 but for me not quite getting there.
