Here is the guide on how to enjoy a Lynsay Sands's historical romance. First, know it's not going to change your life. Second, don't expect a great plot because they are all the same: attempted murder attempts on a newly wed couple to gain title and power. Third, laugh, laugh, laugh. This one is no different. Yes, the plot is predictable and the blossoming relationship between Avelyn and Paen is sweet, but I read it for the funny scenes.

I also loved that Avelyn is more of a full-figure woman. Paen is also so clueless it was endearing. I especially loved the part where he tries to increases Avelyn's self esteem by petting her rump and giving her an apple because that's what he does to make his horse feel better. Like I said clueless and sweet.

It's frivilous and thoroughly fun.
