Hngggggg I LOVED this. Seraphina is a "fallen woman," seduced at a young age by a man and then cast out of society. She meets Adam, a starchy architect, while he is renovating a house near her childhood home in Cornwall. Adam has an incredibly sad backstory and a huge heart. She wants a no-strings-attached affair and he just doesn't work like that. This book had excellent romantic tension, hottttt intimate scenes and excellent commentary on feminism, misogyny, and the way society treats men and women differently. 

Seraphina is a really complicated and dare I say "unlikable" heroine. She is broken and struggling with alcohol. She is angry and sad and running from her feelings and that's what really made this book work for me.
