The flirting in this book literally made me blush in real life. I loved Kit so much and I would die for Percy. This was such a great read and I’m excited to start the sequel right away!

Took me more than half the book to realize that Percy’s wigs weren’t like Marie Antoinette’s hair even though that’s all I could picture lmao

Finishing this book while squealing and kicking my feet. Sickeningly sweet! The romance was steamy and tender and so lovely. The plot was fun and pleasurable to follow. One of my favorites of the year!

This was way better than I expected! I'm generally not a big fan of historical romance (although queer ones can be an exception)
And I feel like the class difference was actually depicted and explored in a good way. It wasn't just falling in love with a rich guy and suddenly forgetting all about inequality because 'love conquers all' or some bullshit 
The characters didn't just fight and then have sex and forget about it, they figured out solutions and were ready to walk away if they had to.
But like Percy said
"I'd be delighted to turn traitor to my class" so it all worked out and it was sweet and wholesome 🥰
I also like that Kit's thievery and such wasn't painted as something bad or unfair and in the end they actually decided to do it together, that was a very nice moment showing that Percy doesn't consider himself more moral just because he was more privileged but he also doesn't treat this as some sort of game
