Description
Briggs Goswick is many things:
- a society darling (annoying)
- undeniably attractive (unfair)
- heir to an elite family (helpful)
- and, after humiliating her at a ball, Blythe Rowley's archnemesis
Nearly five years after this 'incident', Briggs' sudden reappearance takes Blythe's summer from bad to . . . complicated. Because Briggs has a secret: he's flat broke.
With the weight of saving her own family's name and finances solely on her shoulders, that is something she and Briggs have in common. But Blythe has a plan to save them both.
Briggs' society connections can help Blythe win over investors for her new business venture. In exchange, she promises to help Briggs charm an aloof heiress with deep pockets.
It's a win-win situation . . .
. . . or is it?

Summer Must Read 🩷🌸🌷🐝
Words cannot express exactly how much I enjoyed this book.
Witty, beautifully written banter in a regency enemies to lovers, befitting of all Bridgerton fans.
Dual Pov between the main female character Blythe. An incredibly written independent, clever and proud daughter who encapsulates all the qualities of an eldest daughter.
And our main male character, Briggs, who on the first page Blythe described as a certified manchild.
From that sentence alone I knew this was the book for me.
Of note, I think YA is the wrong category for this book and could lead to wrong assumptions about this book. Another review called this a mature , closed-door historical romance rather than a YA historical romance, and I couldn’t agree more. While there was no smut/spice, it was quite clear the depth of feelings at play here and once again proving my point that you do not need a spicy scene in order to achieve sexual tension. We all know the Pride and Prejudice type scenes where a well executed hand brush can leave you blushing more than an explicit scene can. That is exactly what this author so perfectly encapsulates. The sexual tension of forbidden lust and love in a society where those opportunities are not possible for women until after their wedding. Sure the story could have been lengthened in order to include such scenes but I don’t think it would have added anything that the author hadn’t already perfectly provided.
