This was a fun, sexy, and mysterious read! I loved the heist storyline, and appreciated how headstrong both protagonists were and that they both knew pretty immediately that they were interested in the other one and went for what they wanted. I will say that I tend to prefer my romances much more of a slow-burn, so Waspish Widows is going to stay my favorite out of the Feminine Pursuits series, but that's me, and I still loved this one! Olivia Waite's descriptions of the music and the dresses made me want to hear them, to watch the performances, to see the dresses and run my hands over the silk. It's so immersive! More importantly, she continues to bring me beautiful queer historical romances without the sharpest edges of homophobia (it's there, but doesn't cut) and with familial knowledge and acceptance and love!! And ALWAYS queer background characters, including a cozy polyamorous triad in this book.
