One of my favorite historical romances

Revisado: 11-15-23

I feel like this book was written just for me. Like Erin Langston asked me “what is your perfect HR novel?” And then she went ahead and wrote it for me.

Oh my goodness!! I loved it. I loved everything about it. I loved all the characters. I loved the epistolary aspect of it with a letter at the start of each chapter. I loved all the tenderness and sweet words. I loved.it.all!

I loved the characters in this book. Especially Nate! He was a perfect mix of Leo Hathaway, West Ravenel, and Colin Sandhurst. If you like a laid back, Devil may care, teasing Hero then this hero is IT!! The heroine was wonderful too. A strong woman who fights for her kids and puts everyone else first. She deserved to be happy and loved and it was so satisfying watching her learn to trust Nate. And even more satisfying watching Nate learn to love her and the kids.

Things I loved about this book that I thought set it apart from others:
-The biggest thing that got me was the intimacy between Nate and Cora. It wrecked me. The love scenes were so so intimate. Looking into each others eyes, whispering things, communicating….omg. It was one of the best sex scenes I’ve read. I’m so tired of reading about sex acts with no emotion involved. I think there were three or four sex scenes in this book but the first was the longest and most special. I like intimacy so for me this was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

-The way that the H and h really realized their feelings and didn’t avoid them or shrug them off. They were shocked by them and scared by them but they didn’t deny or fight them. Once Nate realized how important Cora and the kids were he decided to stay and fight for them. He started off as such a rake and loser, but by half way in he turned into a cinnamon roll and I loved getting to enjoy all the gooey sweetness for the second half of the book. Omg Nate was a DREAM!! So tender. So loving. 🥰🥰🥰

-They gave each other the benefit of the doubt. Nate understood Cora and he really truly KNEW her. It was like magic. For a woman to be so understood by a man made my heart throb lol. Cora doubted him several times but it didn’t take long for her to stop and think “no, I know him. I KNOW him” and then they communicated. I loved that she didn’t go running with assumptions to create drama and angst.

-The epilogue!!! How amazing to see their family 20+ years down the road and not just 6 months. It was so great!

Overall I loooooved this book!! I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could! It was utterly romantic. Beautifully written. And gave me all the feels I hope to have when reading a historical romance!
