I enjoyed the chemistry between Benedict and Sophie and the lack of "we must get married right now, as I have comprised you." Both main characters had very real and understandable fears and I found the book had a lot less talk about sexual desire (that doesn't mean there wasn't any) and more about quality time with one another which was a good break from the past two books. I was also quite surprised to learn how many ideas were taken from this book to be used for the second season of the Netflix show, which is Anthony's story. You'll see what I mean if decide to read this book and watch the show.
Again there were more questionable actions from the characters that make you go, "Ok wow that is like really not ok." But however, I think this book did a better job "making it okay" than the other two by having Sophie put up a bit more of a fight with Benedict and confronting him about his actions.
A strong opinion I still hold have briefly touched upon in my The Duke and I review is that these books are truly meant for a specific genre of people and if you are looking for a historical romance series without angsty male lead characters and timid female ones this series is really not for you.
