i could go my whole life without ever hearing or reading the word "tupping" again

but that being said, this was fun. it's my third tessa dare book this month and it didn't disappoint. there was a lot to love. a plus sized (maybe??? idk it wasn't explicit but def implied) heroine who wanted to run her own brewery. a damaged ring fighting hero. and a whole lot of cake and bull dogs.

i mean it's a historical romance so i'm not sure much needs to be detailed in terms of plot, but i liked how everything unfolded. and unlike the previous 2 books i've read of tessa dare, this one didn't have a last minute "hero gets cold feet about love" situation. which i really appreciate. i can't stand last minute contrived conflict.

all of that aside, i don't think this story is that memorable or dare's best work. i wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone looking for a fun historical but it didn't wow me. 3 stars.
