This was such a fun regency romance. I loved the main characters. Selina was a fantastic lead- strong and spirited. I loved the banter and found family. A great escape into an old world that felt new and fresh.

Alexandra Vasti’s full-length debut novel was a sensation! I have been a major fan of hers since reading Margo Halifax last year— it was swoony, exciting and made me cry on a randomly Thursday afternoon! And Ne’er Dyke Well was truly no different.

It had the signature Vasti charm that I’ve come to know and adore. She has the perfect regency humour that makes me giggle but also it doesn’t take me out of the story either, it just enhances the characters. Vasti takes the familiar charismatic landscape of historical romances but mixes up the formula that we’re so used to. Our hero, the hilariously bumbling Peter paired with the elegant Selina just made for a new exciting read that I’m not used to in historical romances. I loved the switch up of having an American hero and an English heroine, it's actually my fave micro-trope that isn’t done often and it was very clear that Vasti knew her historical context, too. It made for an easily immersive read on top of having such a charming, contrasting couple take centre stage.

I cant wait to see what Vasti does next because she’s secured herself as an auto-buy author for me now!
