Book Review: Behooved by M. Stevenson

★★★★1/2✩

This book took me by surprise in a fantastic way.

I was expecting a slow burn, marriage of convenience, a dash of adventure and a horse and I got so much of that and more.

This was fun, charming, whimsical, and once I got into it was such a a fun read full of sharp and smart characters with some representation of LGBTQ and chronic pain.

I'm really glad I decided to bump this up and read it—it's such a fun read that I r ad way faster than I expected due to the quick pacing, the marriage of convenience, the MCs catching actual feelings, and saving a kingdom.
