Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Readability: 📖📖📖📖
Feels: 🦋🦋🦋
Emotional Depth: 💔💔💔
Sexual Tension: ⚡⚡⚡
Romance: 💞💞💞
Sensuality: 💋💋💋
Sex Scene Length: 🍑🍑🍑
Steam Scale (Number of Sex Scenes): 🔥 (If I’m honest I didn’t count, so I might be off but I think it’s one scene??)
Humor: Yes
Perspective: Third person from both the hero and heroine
More character focused or plot focused? character
How did the speed of the story feel? medium
When mains are first on page together: pretty soon in – I didn’t count it but it was during the first scene
Cliffhanger: No, this ends with a happily ever after
Epilogue: Yes
Format: listened to the audiobook from my library (Hoopla)
Should I read in order?
I think this one is fine alone!
Basic plot:
Daisy enters a contents to get funding for starting a trade business and her once lover Crash offers to give her tips to win.
Give this a try if you want:
- Victorian -1866
- London setting
- working class mains
- second chance
- novella length
- average novella steam – 1 scene
Ages:
- didn’t catch them but would guess late 20s?
First line: Taken from audio, may be butchered
The crowd stood elbow to elbow, buffeting Daisy Whitlaw about as if she were a slice of bread that landed in a bucket of a slops.
My thoughts:
I grabbed this one as a Diverse Baseline Challenge choice (for indie BIPOC author I think??) and enjoyed it!
My minor issues were with second chance because it makes me sad, and I never really LOVED the hero. I did like the heroine.
I have really been liking Milan’s writing with this series so far. I read a few of her first books and didn’t love them but these feel more funny, witty, and flow better to me. In this one, I really felt the newness and scariness of a developed bicycle, something we take for granted today and I thought that whole plot point was really fun.
