This book was wonderful. I feel like it’s my favorite Tessa Dare. I felt it had more feels and was way sexier than the others I’ve read by her

I loved both the main characters. They were perfect for each other. They were very real with mistakes and regrets along the road. Honestly I didn’t know how I would feel about Colin the first few chapters in. Everything from his build, to his carefree personality, his inability to remember Minerva’s name just was NOT my thing. But oh, Colin. He totally stole my heart. My heart was wrapped tight when they were laying the field with bluebells and his insecurity surfaced. How much he wanted Min but didn’t fully understand the whole of it. His ridiculous stories he made up and the fact that the villain in every story was named Sir Alisdair Kent had me laughing. His desire and need to be loved was buried so deep and his perfect heroine Minerva brought it all out. I just loved it.

This book is hot. When a first kiss scene can you make you feel like that, feel the excitement, the butterflies, the anticipation, oh it’s wonderful.

Yup, I loved it. Only a few things I would have liked, but they were pretty minor:
1. WHY can’t a character that wears glasses ever have them on in the cover??? I pictured them so clearly in the book and I would like to see them. I mean, they are obviously in bed on the cover but maybe if she had her glasses on they wouldn’t have needed up in the weird uncomfortable reverse plank sandwich position? Just a thought...
2. Strongly disliked the chapters where the heroine from the following book took her perspective. I don’t like being out of the main characters heads unless it’s going to add something amazing to the story. I felt like most of this was unnecessary and only set the stage for the next book, not with the current story. I don’t love Eloisa James over much but I do feel like her Wilde’s of Lindlow Castle series does great setting up the curiosity of the future characters without taking away from the main characters.
3. I would have liked an epilogue, or at least gotten to see Minerva’s mothers reaction. I haven’t read any other Spindle Coves so I’m not sure how much page space they get in future books.
