Social media has been flogging a TV series that's available to watch on Angel TV should you want to pay for another streaming service, which I don't, and somewhere along the way it was mentioned that it's based off a book, so I looked up the book, which led to reading the book.
The book was lovely.
Regency romance with the tropes: no one knows anyone until the day of the wedding, he has to wed to produce an heir so that his useless cousins don't inherit, her family needs money so she agrees, he doesn't like feelings, and Beauty and the Beast.
No sex. Which was fine. It was still lovely.
Lots of crying. Not a how-to-be-strong-as-a-role-model character, but not a weak and useless character, either.
The writing was a bit clunky at the start, but it got better, enough that I also read the second book in the series.
