Absolutely loved Artemis and how unapologetically badass she was! She was a great fit for the Duke, and those morning walks in the forest with the doggo's was really freaking sweet! This book had the angst, had some mystery, a Duke trying to avenge his parent's murder, and it kept me entertained! The romance was steamy, the plot was entertaining and didn't get in the way or distract too much, and I loved seeing such a strong heroine.

Spoiler

The ending was a little wishy washy with Maximus stating he could NEVER marry her, based on her status and mad brother, but after her almost death he flipped the switch? This man who is always mature, overthinking and going through all of the scenarios for the sake of love threw his personality and logic out the window? I mean, i'm happy for them, but the wrapping up everything in a neat tidy bow felt hollow. The bad guy was killed miraculously, and everyone ended up happily ever after? Ok, sounds good. Still an enjoyable read!
