Fun way to pass the time. Didn’t love the audiobook quality (the love interests’ voices weren’t sufficiently different to easily distinguish, and the cuts were sometimes a little obvious), but the book itself was escapism fun

Put a Stacy Reid book in front of me and I will read it no matter what! That is exactly what happened to me with this book, and I dove in without reading the synopsis.
I was surprised and delighted to find such unique back stories for the hero and the heroine. Individually, their stories were fascinating and unique. Together, I found the idea that two people with very rare experiences finding love and acceptance in each other-when the rules and norms of society would deem them mad or unsuitable- to be quite lovely.
This story had a slow burn element to it that worked well for the character development and tension. There was also an almost old school historical romance feel to the story and characters that was fun and a bit necessary for any plausibility to the behaviors of the main characters and the outcome of the romance.
I did struggle a bit with some inconsistencies in the story, yet I must account for this being an ARC, and perhaps these details will be cleaned up in the final product. Unfortunately, it was these inconsistencies and lags in detail that affected my reading and propelled me out of the story a few times- leaving me with questions and no real clear answers.
Overall, I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to romance readers who like older historical romances with a slightly bananas plot, and characters with incredibly unique back stories.
