well, yes, i love the idea that to be known is to be loved. and that falling in love does not mean you're trapped.
otherwise, the mmc tattoo ordeal was so icky. the book did not need to be 500 pages. the chemistry wasn't grand. will prob still read book 3.

I really love this series. It scratches the itch I've had for so long to immerse myself in Victorian-era British England, and it really reckons with how women carved out independent lives for themselves and how progress was so painfully slow. I appreciated how hard Tristan tried to understand what Lucie was scared of and what she needed, and I loved the exploration of how your mission can change over time, or how you approach it can be different. The friendship between Annabelle and Lucie is gorgeously done, and the chemistry between Tristan and Lucie sparkles. This is spicier than Bringing Down the Duke (which I loved), and I appreciated the enemies-to-lovers storyline so much (it's a favorite of mine). I can't wait to finish the rest of this series!!

This was way better than the first one. The male main character was characterized much more deeply and consequently the relationship just more natural.

I love the vibes and the characters in this book but the story just doesn’t flow well.
