Meh. I lost interest in this one after the first act. I wasn’t as invested in their romance after the clerkenwell night market. And I got bored. The intrigue and conspiracy fizzled out quickly. It lacked the humour of books 2-3. And the brief moments of romantic declarations were many enough to rally me.

A quick, entertaining read. The romance was sweet and the plot was decent. I loved the main characters.

I enjoyed this re-read. It was cute and I had a good time. I like the characters and their relationships. There's something about Kleypas' writing style that I liked.

After re-reading: 5⭐️  something hit different reading this time around. Ethan’s romantic heart was so sweet. I loved how much he loved Garrett. I also loved seeing her slowly open herself up to be loved. 
Original review: 4.5⭐️ Ethan captured my attention in book two! I’ve been waiting to read his story. I absolutely loved Garrett’s character. She’s so fierce and determined. Ethan’s love for her completely melted me. I dropped a half a star for an abrupt ending.

I would’ve given five stars just for Garrett, she was just incredible.
Ethan? Who? Sorry, I’ve never heard about this man in my life.

Overall, I really love the ratio of historical to romance content in Kleypas' works, and we don't get FMCs like Garrett Gibson often, so yay! However, I wanted just a bit more relationship development from Garrett and Ethan in order to rate this higher.
