"<b>“It’s absolutely not that I don’t want you,” he said. “It’s that I want you so much I can scarcely stay in my own skin.”</b><br/><br/>This was a cute and cozy historical romance. I really liked the small town vibes and the fact that it was a diverse historical romance. The fmc Chloe was a really fun and quirky character with all her lists and her relationship with her dad, food and her Chinese heritage. Jeremy the mmc is a Duke though he doesn’t tell others because of half of his heritage. He is nerdy and a bit weird but also so sweet. I loved both characters and thought they paired well together. The romance was cute and fun while also covering issues like race and belonging and culture.<br/><br/>Read if you like: <br/>- Historical romance <br/>- Bipoc characters <br/>- Hidden identity <br/>- Small town romance <br/>- Grumpy sunshine <br/>- Childhood friends <br/>- He falls first"

"There was depth to the characters and banter that I appreciated. Things weren't black and white, the female had a brain, the male had to make some life choices, and I found the conversations amusing."
