I adored Millie from the beginning, I liked the secret conversation between her and Fitz at the piano and thought that it made her come across as mature and thoughtful. She handled herself very well the whole time, even if she was maybe a little too amicable. 

Fitz was incredibly oblivious and maybe a little stupid, but I did like him. It was refreshing to read a Historical Romance where the MMC didn’t treat the FMC cruelly. 

I appreciated the build up of their relationship, but when they finally confessed their love for one another, it felt quite sudden, especially considering the 8 years of history between them. I also wish it hadn’t of ended so quickly after the fact, I wanted to experience more of their relationship now that they were finally together.

Millie and Fitz. 
It’s so heartbreaking to read of her unrequited love, esp when he’s pining for his own lover. 
The ending felt rushed. 
I didn’t really feel their chemistry or connection so I found it hard to believe. The angst and tension could’ve been prolonged.

Thank goodness a pillar of the romance genre is the happily ever after, otherwise I couldn't have finished this book. Millie's unrequited love was just heartbreaking.
