Feels: 🦋🦋🦋🦋
Emotional Depth: 💔💔💔
Sexual Tension: ⚡⚡⚡⚡
Romance: 💞💞💞💞
Sensuality: 💋💋💋💋
Sex Scene Length: 🍑🍑🍑

Humor: Yes
Perspective: Third person from both hero and heroine
Cliffhanger: No this ends with a happily ever after
Epilogue: Yes
Should I read in order?
Ideally, yes. This relationship has been in the background of a couple books.
Basic plot:
Charles has been attempting to woo Julia for years and the winter hunting party will provide the perfect opportunity to corner her into accepting.
Give this a try if you want:
- Regency
- country setting
- winter romance
- novella length
- widowed heroine/widower hero
- bargain – heroine agrees to spending 12 nights in his bed to determine that they aren’t suitable
- hero pursues
- well-endowed hero
- mid steam – 2 scenes (I think) in a novella length
My thoughts:
I was almost done with this book and I ended up losing all of my notes on it. So there’s something things I’m not 100% sure on, like the steam, but that’s okay. I won’t have content warnings for this one either, because if there were any, they were saved in my notes :(
I really enjoyed this one. I am such a fan of Mary Sarah’s narration. I just fall into her stories with a soothed smile on my face. I am always shocked by how much dislike she gets in the romance community. (*holds Mary Sarah comfortingly*)
Anywayyyy we get the story of Julia and Charles who have been in the background in a number of scenes throughout the series, as well as Charles mother, the intimidating prelude to every chapter, the dowager Marchioness. I’ll admit I didn’t pay much attention them, but I ended up really loving their story!
I think the heroine’s whole reason for her hesitancy and push back was a bit silly, but I am able to forgive that. I eat up hero pursues and he pursues her so hard in this one. So I was just happy as a clam reading this entire novel with it’s angsty chase.
Locations of kisses/intimate scenes:
Safe sex: No, but the heroine believes she is barren.
I want to say there is a doggy style scene – he wants to take her like this because he’s obsessed with a freckle or something on her neck??
And maybe her on top?
