Earnest. That’s the word for this book.

Our down-to-earth hottie was surprised to inherit a title. Our diamond of the first water heroine helped him fit in. Found family, being honest with one another, honour, cuteness.

It was so earnest! It felt like a k-drama. There was something really charming and cozy about it. The characters were all likable, everything happened on page, he didn’t think he deserved her, they were pining. It was super sweet.

The writing style was very on the nose and it had one of my least favourite things holding them apart (the ‘I love you too much to be with you’ trope). But I forgive it.
