Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this fun, adventurous, and clean romance. I especially liked having the multiple storylines: Elizabeth and Michael and Jimmie and Sally. This was a fun change from the typical historical romance that only focuses on the upper classes. Michael was very much neurodivergent-coded, but in a way that I, also neurodivergent, recognized his characteristics and it wasn't presented in a heavy-handed, stereotypical way. My only complaint is that themarriage proposal at the end seemed to come out of nowhere. I wish there had been more romance prior to that .

This was such a cute read! So far, I love how both books I've read, from Suzanne give us so many more perspectives to view the story from.
In this story, we get to see a villain thwarted at every turn, two seemingly opposites forced together by a common goal, and honestly [bit spoilery] || the sweetest dog napper you'll ever read ||
I can't wait for more people to read this sweet investigative love story 💜
If you're looking for a cozy romance where you know who the villain is the entire time and everyone, aside from the villain, has an HEA...then this is a book for you 🥰
