Nothing says Taurus like a stubborn character, and Martha Waters gives us two of them in her Regency rom-com To Have and to Hoax! A misunderstanding early on turned the passionate love match between Violet and James into a cold, formal marriage. After an unfortunate incident angers Violet, the couple begin an escalating war of fake illnesses, pretend affairs, and more — and despite it all, neither of them is willing to be the first to admit they still care. Who knew that a Taurus's most frustrating trait could be such a great vehicle for romantic tension?
