    • 3/5
      Short but cute. Not up to par with the other stuff I've read by Milan, to be honest, but I still liked it.
    • 4/5
      Fun historical novel with zingy dialogue. A quick read but the interplay between the characters is fun and satisfying.
    • 3/5
      This was a fun sweet story about 2 childhood friends who because of a misunderstanding were separated. Virginia Barrett is afraid of poverty and Simon Davenant wants everything right now. In their youth they are unable to understand each other's perspectives and Virginia marries another. Now that Virginia has been widowed, Simon has three days to marry her before she finds out about his financial difficulties.
