I really enjoyed this book! I’m always here for anti-capitalist and anti-aristocracy sentiment in historical romance or anywhere else, and Cat Sebastian absolutely delivered on that front.

I liked both main characters, and I thought they had a good dynamic. I also really like the 18th century as a setting. I think it’s under-utilized in historical fiction, and this book fully took advantage of the time and place.

Also sidenote but yay lube!

Some of the plot twists felt simultaneously predictable and a bit clumsily executed, but I didn’t really mind.

The pacing was weirdly slow for a book with such an exciting plot, and I do wish that there had been literally any racial diversity, but overall I really enjoyed this one and will be reading the sequel when it comes out!
