I picked this book up at the bookstore on a whim after seeing Tessa Dare's name, knowing I had thoroughly enjoyed her Castles Ever After series (but having never read any of the Spindle Cove). This was a very fun romp and a very quick read, but I do think I would have enjoyed it a bit more having read any of the others in the series. 
 The one very good thing to come out of it, though - I have a lot more interest in trying out her Spindle Cove series, of which I've heard really mixed reviews! But honestly, sometimes we just need a bit of adorable fluff with some swoony moments in between to read. Just saying. <3
