An English professor starts a new chapter in her life and is swept up in a Jane Austen-esque romance with a modern day duke
Bonnie Blythe has modeled her life after her favorite books. If only her fiancé would get on the same page and agree to a wedding date.
She’s not at all bitter that her best friend is getting married to a man she’s known for less than a year, and Bonnie most definitely isn’t thinking about the best man to be, Theo Wharton. It’s just whenever she talks with the blue-eyed Brit, sparks fly.
When a shocking reveal ends Bonnie’s engagement, she accepts a summer teaching job at Cambridge—only an hour away from Theo. Bonnie isn’t ready for a new relationship, but the chemistry between her and Theo is impossible to ignore. But Theo’s been hiding the truth about his identity; will Bonnie be able to weather the plot twist and grab the happily ever after of her dreams?

I liked the Mom dedication. However, I thought the book was sometimes charming but also slow. It's actually slower than I really like.
Both Bonnie and Theo were good main characters and I liked Theo's relationship with his sister Tabitha. Regular sibling interactions from a brother and sister who are pretty close.
His mother seems to be intensifying her pressure for Theo to get married. Even though the family needs more money, the siblings are thinking maybe something else is at work too.
Bonnie does have a great set of friends starting with Cassie. Her soon to be married best friend. Cassie's fiancee Logan brings humor and some spice to the story. Also add in Sadie, Ana and Delaney also were part of the group of gal friends.
There were some good historical visits to places in England. But there was also a bit more Shakespeare and Jane Austin in the story than what I expected or really wanted. Of course, I know that the book information mentions that Bonnie gets caught up in a Jane Austin like modern romance. There was one part I really DIDN'T like. Even though it was something that women getting together might talk about. This sexual explanation just made me go, "Ew". There was at least one other party time that the party favors left me feeling that it was for a younger, adult reader.
The part of the story about Cupid was an interesting tidbit.
There is a H.E.A. with a few twists before they get there.
