I received a digital copy of this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is the first book for a new three book series by Emma Hart starring the modern day British aristocracy. Which being an avid regency romance reader is a refreshing and interesting theme for me.
Our heroine is the daughter of a Duke with a crush on her fathers head gardener who is hot but rather grumpy. She lives with her father on his estate where his sister - her aunt also lives and apparently is forever getting into hair brained schemes. She has 2 pet goats that are constantly getting out of their designated area.
Emma Harts books are generally on the shorter side. This one clocks in at about 7 hours. I love the heart and humor she infuses in every story. She provides depth of character and laugh out loud moments.
This book is more of a slow burn. There is gradually building romantic tension. Lower steam, though there is some. Closed door. Trigger warnings - parent death (cancer and off page), classism, flooding.
Very enjoyable listen. Can’t wait to check out the next two books. 5/5
