Summary: 

At last, Diana gets a romance of her own! But with the last man anyone in Spindle Cove expects...

Beautiful and elegant, Miss Diana Highwood is destined to marry a wealthy, well-placed nobleman. At least, that's what her mother has loudly declared to everyone in Spindle Cove.

But Diana's not excited by dukes and lords. The only man who makes her heart pound is the village blacksmith, Aaron Dawes. By birth and fortune, they couldn't be more wrong for each other...but during stolen, steamy moments in his forge, his strong hands feel so right.

Is their love forged strong enough to last, or are they just playing with fire?

Review: 

Yayy another Dare! Yesss I couldn't wait because I've been simply dying for Diana and Aaron's love story. You could see the chemistry in the other books. It's about time!

BTW - you need to read the other books before this one. Lots of references you need. 

Diana is perfect and destined to marry a rich nobleman. However, she can't get Aaron Dawes out of her mind. Aaron is the village blacksmith and he has been in love with Diana since she first came to Spindle Cover. However, they couldn't be more wrong for each other, but after a stolen moment in his forge....they can't stay away from each other. 

This book had me awwwwing a million times. It's so sweet and precious. They are simply perfect for each other if you take away the birth/station thing. It wasn't easy for them but the ending was perfection. 

I loved the mini mystery and the twist at the end. I was in stitches laughing. Cuuuuuute. 

I do worry about their future but it'll be okay. Diana is a sweetie and I think a quiet life will be perfect. She was never meant to be a Duchess or whatever. 

The narrator was lovely. 

All-in-all, this was very adorable and cute. I loved the couple. I loved the drama and the mystery. I can't wait to read more of this series. I'm nearly done and I'm feeling sad. I did read Minvera's book on accident (whoops) but I'm sure I'll re-read it just to keep the series going as long as possible. BUT, yes, this was good. 5 stars from me.
