This book is truly full of vices, with an extremely hedonist character and a smut writer that puts all he writes to practice. I loved this book to pieces, the characters are flawed but lovable and you can see an organic personal growth as their relationship develops. I was rooting for them from the beginning and all their highs made me giddy and their lows made me cry like an idiot.

This is the perfect book for fans of queer and historical romance, grumpy/sunshine and found family tropes, and some rough but not overly explicit smut, which is perhaps my only complaint: I wished the author felt more comfortable to lean completely into the smut and some important scenes didn’t happen behind closed doors, but regardless this book was perfection and I can see myself recommending it to everyone.
