This is definitely not my normal type of book, but the theme of BookRiot's quarterly package this time around was giving some different genres a try (specifically sci-fi, romance and YA) so I'm going to do just that.

But I really liked Penelope as a character and the ending almost made me want to read the next book in the series. ALMOST.

This was my first Sarah MacLean, and it was alright. I enjoyed reading it. I found Penelope to be rather frustrating at the beginning, and was very happy when she started to actually speak her mind. Regency romances aren't my favorite, but I would read another one by MacLean.
