Quick, fun read.
It wasn't a particularly special book, but even as someone that usually doesn't read romance I enjoyed it.
I liked the dynamic between the mcs and that they were actually willing to listen to each other and change their behaviour if it negatively effected their partner.

the one where gareth moves back, becomes a baronet, wants to but then doesn't give testimony against Josiah 'Joss' Doomsday's sister for smuggling, and the continues to fall in love with his former London several-night-stand while they unravel

a plot involving money laundering, smuggling, kidnapping, and inevitable murder, although only of people you're okay seeing be murdered.
