How did the speed of the story feel? medium
When mains are first on page together: Not too far in, 24% (chapter 2 of 8) but it’s a short story so it doesn’t feel as long as 24% in haha
Cliffhanger: No, this ends with a happily ever after
Epilogue: Yes, 2 months later
Should I read in order?
I believe this is Diane’s debut, and it’s fine to read alone!
Basic plot:
Grace is focused on finding someone that meets her qualifications for a husband – handsome, good kisser, love, and a rake – and she is missing what’s right in front of her.
Give this a try if you want:
- Regency – 1817
- bespectacled hero
- hero loves first
- midnight window knocks
- unrequited longing
- shorter story
- higher steam – 3 full scenes within a shorter page count
Ages:
- hero is 24, the heroine is around 18
My thoughts:
I enjoyed this quick and spicy read! I thought it was pretty cute and I am a sucker for any kind of unrequited love, especially from a hero.
In this novel, our heroine Grace gets a bit too focused on her requirements for a husband. I loved how Arthur shows her what’s right next to her and how wonderful it can be – even if he’s not the rake of her dreams. And I’m always swooning for midnight window knocks 🫠 🫠

Only Arthur Will Do! A Fun, Quick, Spicy Romp!
This Regency-era romance novella from Christina Diane is a wonderful, quick read for anyone who's looking for a low-angst, he-falls-first, open-door romance. The spice is pitch perfect and Arthur is so sexy! I'm a big fan of Christina's projects and love how she's able to pack in big feels even in shorter novellas. I hope to see more of Arthur and Grace in the Christina Diane universe! I purchased both the print and e-book versions. The print version arrived quickly and in great condition. It's a glossy, hi-res cover with nice, thick pages. I can't wait for more releases from Christina to add to my collection!
