I love Felicity's ability to write richly developed female main characters, and Caro does not disappoint! I did struggle, though, with the male main character, Phin, and his presentation on page. Most challenging for me was his tendency to sexualize her lisp, which felt like a distraction from his true intent in these moments (encouraging her to speak) and risked fetishization of her speech at times (this was my personal discomfort, and may not be felt by other readers). He also speaks in third person through a large portion of the intimate scenes, and this is a tough one for me, because people speaking about themselves in third person so often feel painfully narcissistic. Unfortunately, it pushed me out of the story each time. Ultimately, I struggled to root for these characters, because, for these reasons and a third-act moment, I didn't come around on Phin by the end. While this didn't work as well for me as I had hoped, I did appreciate the on-page declaration of fidelity (a FAVORITE micro-moment of mine in reformed rake stories!) and the confidence Caro discovers in herself. Felicity writes page turners (there isn't one of hers I've managed to set down for long - these are all-nighters). I love her writing style and will be anxious to read more of the Bed Me series! Thank you to the author for a complimentary ARC in exchange for an honest review.
