I really enjoyed this, especially the sort of mystery/investigation elements at the start of the book. I also appreciated how right from the beginning in both character perspectives you have a sense of the history between them and the loss they both felt at not being able to explore their budding feelings in the past. 

I think the author did a great job of showing, even amidst their conflict and bickering, that Phoebe and William would actually make a good couple and despite everything their natural tendencies bring out the best in each other. It was also sort of refreshing the way they both approached being intimate with each other (outside of wedlock!) without the heavy shame and stress that I've seen in past historical romances.

This book does feel like the start of a series in that decent chunks are spent setting up the side characters to have their own stories later. I'll have to keep an eye out for more from this author.

The audiobook narrator was excellent.
