This one felt like it was meant to be enemies to lovers, but if so the main characters' arc was a little lacking in that. They liked each other right away and I kinda felt like the intimacy started too soon. I also wish we'd seen more of the other characters - it felt a little insular between Marian and Rob.
However, I still enjoyed this book and sped through it. I really appreciated the diversity in the characters' sexuality, both in their attraction and preferences. A het-partnered romance that doesn't focus overly on PIV is pretty rare!
I read this book and the first one while also watching Bridgerton. I'd definitely recommend this for fans of fiction set in that era, especially for those of us who want a little more diversity than what 18th century fiction typically offers.
