First & foremost, yes this one holds up. Enoch is an author I read fairly religiously when I was in my Romance Novel Heyday in my early 20s, but not one I kept up with after, and while this book made me want to reread the other two in this trilogy— mostly for Georgie and Saint who both shine in their side roles here, as do the other Carroways— this one is really the standout. I ADORE Bit. He is a stunningly wonderful hero, his PTSD feels authentic (although I don’t know personally), and I like Lucinda and her struggles to balance this budding relationship with the expectations of her dad. Geoffrey is a somewhat predictable villain, but the mystery element is solid.
