My favorite in the series! Hits all the trope notes of a swashbuckling gothic novel with delightful feminist revisions.

Delightful! A similar premise as "Never Fall for your Fiancee" but this one drew me in far better. The characters had depth, and chemistry with each other, and actual concerns outside their scheme. Plus there's a murder mystery thrown in! A perfectly pleasant relaxing read without being overly cheesy or shallow.

I *love* a Victorian era romantic suspense AND fake dating?! Say no more!!! I swear, this series has gotten better with each book. That said, this one could definitely stand alone. Join Poppy & Langham as they hop a train, make a pact, solve multiple crimes, and unwittingly fall in love. Their relationship and everything about each of them was *chef’s kiss* perfection.
