Description
“Wouldn’t we know if we could be a real married couple… if we did it?” At that single remark from her friend, Shirley faltered. After all, she was already struggling with the question of whether she and Damian, her fated fiancé since birth, could ever truly become a ‘real married couple’ rather than just friends. “Of course, we’ll become husband and wife.” Her kind and gentle fiancé would always say frustratingly naive things, completely unaware of her inner turmoil. “Then break off the engagement.” Her family gave her the chance to decide. “So, you’re saying your fiancé doesn’t feel like a man to you?” This man, who she didn’t even know, pierced through Shirley’s hesitations with startling clarity. *** One sweltering summer night, while she lay asleep in her room, someone came to her. “Let’s do something fun, Shirley.” Creak. The bed dipped as someone sat down on one side. “Something fun…?” “Yeah, something fun.” Was it just her imagination, or was his voice filled with an intense heat? “And what would that be?” “You’ll like it, Shirley. I’m sure of it.” The hand that slid along her pale leg, illuminated by the moonlight, carried an unmistakable danger. “Wouldn’t we know if we could be a real married couple… if we did it?” “What?” “Whether we can or can’t, we’ll find out once we spend the night together.” The voice whispering in her ear sent a shiver through Shirley’s body. “Show me that pretty thing.”

My Thoughts on An Early Engagement
"An Early Engagement" promised a delightful blend of aristocracy, romance, and a touch of spice, and while it delivered on some fronts, I found myself ultimately a bit conflicted. The premise of childhood friends in an arranged marriage setting is certainly appealing, and the European-inspired backdrop added a layer of charm.
First Impressions
I was initially drawn in by the promise of a devoted love interest and the exploration of first love. The early chapters successfully established the close bond between the main characters and hinted at the complexities to come. I found the setting quite immersive.
What Works Well
The novel excels at creating an intimate atmosphere, especially during the romantic scenes. The author paints a vivid picture of the characters' emotions and desires. I particularly enjoyed the glimpses into the male lead's perspective, which added depth to his character. The story also had a certain fairytale quality, especially in the beginning, that I found endearing.
Areas of Concern
However, as the story progressed, I began to notice some weaknesses. The short length, while making it a quick read, ultimately felt detrimental to the plot. I felt that the ending felt rushed and lacked the depth I was hoping for. The central conflict, revolving around misunderstandings between the main characters, felt somewhat repetitive.

Final Verdict
Overall, "An Early Engagement" is a mixed bag. While it offers moments of genuine romance and a charming setting, I felt that the rushed ending, frustrating characters, and uneven power dynamics ultimately detracted from my enjoyment. I'd recommend it with reservations, primarily to readers who enjoy quick, spicy reads and are willing to overlook some of the story's flaws. I would have liked to see the author take more time to develop the characters and resolve their conflicts in a more satisfying way.
