was adorable. \u00a0I&#8217;ll admit that I was a bit worried about the whole virgin and pregnancy thing, just because I&#8217;ve been burned by some of those in the past, but I was pleasantly surprised. \u00a0This is also has the &#8220;best friend&#8217;s little sister&#8221; trope, so while this could&#8217;ve devoted into trope stew, they actually complimented each other well. \u00a0While this is the fifth book in the Sydney Smoke Rugby series, each book can be read as a stand-alone, though, seriously, if you haven&#8217;t picked up the others yet, what are you waiting for???<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cShe glanced down at her plumped-up cleavage. She so would have rocked the nineteenth century. If only she didn\u2019t like things such as personal hygiene and voting rights so damn much.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Eleanor is one of Ryder Davis&#8217;s four sisters, and she lives with her parents on their cattle station out in woop woop (an Aussie term that means the middle of nowhere). \u00a0She&#8217;s a bit of an outlier in the outback, as she&#8217;s enamored with Victorian England &#8211; the clothes, the customs, the courting &#8211; and anything Austen or Heyer. \u00a0Besides helping out on her parents&#8217; farm, she also runs her own successful business sewing reproduction clothing. \u00a0When she&#8217;s hit on by her brother&#8217;s teammate, Bodie, at Ryder&#8217;s engagement party, she decides it&#8217;s finally time to lose her v-card. \u00a0Only, she didn&#8217;t expect the ramifications of the night to possibly derail all of her romantic hopes and dreams&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYou\u2019re my best friend\u2019s sister, and you\u2019re pregnant with my baby.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bodie has been out of the dating rat race for a while after being dumped by his cheating ex. \u00a0The only son of a wealthy businessman, he&#8217;s a disappointment to his parents for refusing to get married to his equally prominent ex, and for abandoning his father&#8217;s business to play rugby. \u00a0It&#8217;s no surprise that he&#8217;s drawn to Eleanor, who&#8217;s soft and shy and real, the opposite of everything his previous relationship was. \u00a0Even after finding out that she&#8217;s his best friend&#8217;s little sister, he still can&#8217;t get her or their one night stand out of his head &#8211; he looks up Victorian porn, for goodness&#8217; sakes &#8211; so he&#8217;s excited she looks him up when she&#8217;s in Sydney two months after they did the deed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEleanor quashed the well of disappointment at the thought of a quickie marriage at City Hall. No heart-thumping courtship, no romantic proposal, no asking her father for her hand in marriage, no Victorian-inspired wedding dress she\u2019d always dreamed of making for herself, no local church with her nearest and dearest as witnesses.<br \/>\nNo I love yous.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I was initially unsure what to make of shy, wallflower, historical-romance-obsessed Eleanor. \u00a0I have a pretty well developed vicarious cringe response, and the first chapter or so worried me, but her later interactions with Bodie firmly cemented her as pleasantly quirky rather than tragic. \u00a0She&#8217;s taken her hobby and turned it into a lucrative business, and has developed her own Victorian-influenced style. \u00a0She&#8217;s also not blind to the problems of Victorian England, but she&#8217;s happy and able to take the good and leave the bad. \u00a0While she does acutely feel different from her classically beautiful family, she&#8217;s also happy with what she has and unwilling to compromise on what she wants. \u00a0More importantly, Bodie appreciates her unusual hobby and quirks, and though they&#8217;re pretty much exact opposites, their relationship is steamy and fun, though a bit shallow. \u00a0When Eleanor arrives in Sydney to confront Bodie, they end up having sex two times before she finally tells him the real reason she wanted to see him. \u00a0Though it seems silly, I actually appreciated that they didn&#8217;t understand each other&#8217;s hopes and dreams in the few short weeks they spent together.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNo reason?\u201d He glowered down at her. \u201cI love you. Isn\u2019t that enough reason?\u201d<br \/>\nEleanor gaped at him. She\u2019d spent a lot of time fantasising about this moment. Both in a general sense throughout her life and in a more specific sense in relation to Bodie.<br \/>\nThis was not how it was supposed to go down.<br \/>\nThere was no grand gesture, no music, no flowers. No beautiful scenery. Just a man in his underwear glowering at her as he threw down the three words she\u2019d most wanted to hear from him.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The serious event at about three-quarters through was a complete gut-punch. \u00a0While I do expect some angst from Ms. Andrews&#8217; books, they&#8217;re generally pretty cozy and light-hearted. \u00a0So it felt like that bit of tragedy blindsided me, and I&#8217;m still not sure how I feel about it in regards to the book as a whole. \u00a0It&#8217;s balanced out by some particularly swoon-worthy actions at the end of the book which made the HEA believable.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, though it felt like a departure from the previous books. \u00a0This is a wonderful series, and Amy Andrews remains an auto-buy for me! \u00a0Definitely recommended for any fans of rugby romances!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trigger warning:\u00a0 Oh my goodness, this was adorable. \u00a0I&#8217;ll admit that
