This felt like it fizzled a bit in delivering on the premise. I love a reformed rake, but I'm not sure what (aside from a stressy outside event) actually prompted his reform, and I found it hard to believe he fell in love with our female main character. Because of that, the tension was just missing for me, and I didn't love how much time the MCs spend apart in the third act (though I recognize the intention, it didn't feel like it worked as well as it could have). Not my favorite by Harper St. George, but looking forward to continuing the series.
