I thought I saw a few things coming and then they did happen, but not in the way I thought it would. Their chemistry and how they go from “enemies” to we tolerate each other to into each other was SO GOOD. I loved how this one took some turns that I didn’t expect. There were a few moments that I was just like “okay we get it” but for most of the novel I loved them and their journeys. Y’all I LOVED THIS ONE! King and Sophie were such good characters, and I loved their POVs. They end up stuck traveling together despite not liking each other. She tries to steal away a carriage and ends up stealing King’s (yes his name is King and I forgot the rest of it) carriage. Despite being the least scandalous of her sisters, she causes a ~scandal~ at a society event and she decides to just leave society and go back to the small town she grew up in. Plot: Sophie is the youngest and plainest of the Talbot sisters. But it does not matter because we are here now. I honestly think I would have gotten into historical romance a lot sooner if I had started with her books. Overall thoughts: I love Sarah MacLean’s books so much and reading this series was a joy. Which is lame because honestly reading almost all the Bridgerton books back to back was a grand time.

I was going to put these in my historical mini review series (I have five parts up and am working on part six ooops) but since I read this whole series before I posted part six of the mini reviews, I figured might as well do a series review!! I usually don’t do these because there are months between me starting the series and finishing it. It follows a group of characters who are all part of various scandals and how it impacts their relationships with their love interests and with society itself. This is Sarah MacLean’s third historical romance series that was published between 20.
