Joan is a wallflower and about to be a spinster. She's tall, curvy, and the latest fashions do nothing for her. She first meets Tristan as a child when he comes home with her brother. Never invited back, it's years before she meets him ago. Tristan has issues with his aunt and cousins (they don't like him).
I liked this was a little bit of a slow burn. It was a bit of enemies to friends to lovers type of book. It was nice that Joan's parents loved her, even if her mother had certain ideas. I did like Joan standing up for herself more, that was needed.
I liked Joan's friends- Abigail and Penelope (and Olivia).

I liked enough to read the rest of the series. Ms. Linden has some good segues to get the parents out of town so the heroine can fall in love with the town's most infamous rake. I liked them both and am ready to see what happens to Abigail and Penelope. There is a little of a Pygmalion story going on with this story. I always like to see the ugly duckling become a beauty. Recommend.
