What it feels like
Stepping into this traditional Regency romance feels like returning to the comforting, elegant roots of the genre. The narrative unfolds at a steady, engaging pace, wrapping the reader in a world where societal expectations and pragmatic bargains clash with the unpredictable nature of love.
