Queen B’s Decree: Hardly A Gentleman made my heart so happy.
Clara is banished from London by her mother after a ‘scandal’—where she’s just defending herself but not gonna go into the essay I’ve written about how bad her mother is—and Clara thrives. She’s like Bilbo Baggins, going on an adventure and embracing change. Clara may be impetuous but she’s such an admirable human being: strong-willed, kind, adventurous, and open-hearted.
And the Laird she stumbles upon, Caelan, is so adorable. He’s so down bad for her, I can barely stand how heartwarming this book is.
Did I wish the two would just TALK already about a certain issue? Heck yes but I can totally understand why both of them were hesitant. I can accept it since both of them were so overt about their feelings for the other, it felt like the talking was more minor of a problem.
Ugh, I loved this book and want to reread it already.
