Not my favourite KJ book but a great read all the same. I really liked the MCs and the story, but I felt there was just something undefinable lacking; some of that KJ magic that wasn’t quite present. Still in all, it was an enjoyable story - I just wish there was more of it.

MM - historical romance - Vikram is Indian, Gil is biracial (Black mother, white father) - moderate steam - pov third dual - childhood crush - childhood friends - class gap (Vikram comes from a wealthy politician's family) - closeted - asexual - hurt/comfort - opposites attract - second chance - sex work - 4 stars, audio 4 stars.

The external plot was very interesting, and I found this blog post about the book that is kind of fascinating. It was a fun read, but very short and maybe a little unremarkable coming off of reading The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting and The Henchmen of Zenda.
