I feel like I have been sleeping on Loretta Chase because this book is so much fun

“Yesterday, when they buried his parents, the sun shone. Today, too, was incongruously sunny, cruelly bright and cheerful and hopeful, the birds singing and the first spring flowers blooming. Ten-year-old Lord Lucien de Grey hid from the sun and the world’s horrible happiness.”

First sentence and I love it already because it sounds like Stranger by Camus

Carriage scene. 🫣🤭

Their first full-blown kiss after they’ve tripped and fallen to the ground near the Serpentine. The heroine’s maid stumbles upon them and is trying to get the hero off the heroine.

Thwack.
“Stop it! Heaven help me, it is like trying to separate dogs.”
Thwack. “Get off!”
