This was one of those “stay up until the wee hours” books because I just didn’t want to put it down. The romance between Drake and Penelope was beyond sweet and their chemistry together was steamy hot! And I really loved that while they had some issues to work out, there were no “easily resolved with one conversation” moments that kept them apart. We got to see them get together and stay that way while they worked on things. It was a refreshing change from most romances.I also really loved Drake. He was a bit aggravating with his delusional expectations, but even when forced into a situation he didn’t think he wanted, he was never intentionally unkind to Penelope, and was even happy about most aspects of their predicament. In so many romances, the hero is cruel and unkind, even if there are good reasons for it beneath it all. But Drake, while a little too tied to his expectations and societal upbringing, is at the heart of it a good, kind man. I loved seeing him and Penelope fall in love and find their happily ever after.
