I haven't read the others in this series. Have to say this isn't my favorite Eloisa James. The banter and the supporting characters were fun just the plot and main characters weren't very endearing to me.

I was disappointed. I love Isidore, but I think Simeon doesn't deserve her.
Look, at the end of the day, Simeon is a selfish piece of shit. Are we supposed to feel sorry for the spoiled man-child who neglected all of his responsibilities - including a wife who was orphaned suddenly - for a decade? He is the very embodiment of pretentious, rich male entitlement. And as far as I'm concerned, this book failed because it didn't have him face that reality - that he's a spoiled, selfish, judgmental dickbag who should be begging for people to give him a chance to prove he's not so selfish anymore. To prove that he gives one shit for someone besides himself.
He didn't want to follow her like a lapdog? Fuck you, Simeon. She sat around like a bird in a cage waiting for you for over a decade. You can put some fucking effort in.
Isidore: 4 stars (she should have stood up for herself more, and valued herself better)
Simeon: 1 star
Overall: 2.5 stars

I feel like the main ending where they are driven apart before the ending seems just so unrealistic.

I read it faster than the previous ones because I am very interested in Jemma and her duke even though they were not the main pairing. As for Isidore and her virgin husband? I wished Isidore retained all that spunk from the previous books and had taught her very oblivious and selfish husband a lesson. Running away, crying on Jemma's shoulder left me a bit deflated. I gave the book four stars because of the delicious dialogue with its double meaning and because Villiers makes every passage a delight to read.
