I honestly did not know this story was by the same author as Pucking Around but I did keep noticing some similarities between the two books at first! MMF isn't my typical read so I was just thinking that the similarities were due to the dynamics.

I have read some poly books, usually MMM or MM & MM with overlap, but I found that the most important part missing from this read was the actual feelings. There's not enough romance for me, not enough caring and wistful longing and sneaking away as a two or a three to just... spend time together. The spicy scenes were fine but I personally prefer when spice comes with feelings and too many of these scenes were focused only on the physical.

I did like the characters and I did love the narration but I don't think I would choose to read this again.

[reviewed 2/2/2024 lol so forgive lack of mems]
the way I had to google wha this was about.        I mixed this up with the last one lolololol BUT WHO CARES. this was fine, same comments about Emily Rath once again. happy for her and the fans.

-MMF
-Shy FMC
-Lots of humor
-HEA
-3.5/5 for spice

Overall I love this series. I was surprised how often I laughed(a rare for me). I loved our FMC. She's shy and socially awkward and I definitely found myself relating to her. I'm also glad we got to see the main characters from the first two books(Beautiful Things & His Grace, The Duke). My only negative was my frustration with Charles and how stubborn he was to claim his HEA.

I really like this series, and she writes spice so well. I liked that Lady Madeline was the one with the money in this one.
If you liked Burke in the duology, you'll like Warren.

I am looking forward to George's short story.

Some grammatical errors pulled me out of the story - discrete instead of discrete, bazar instead of bazaar, but mostly using apostrophes to pluralize last names, which was done throughout the book.
