I adored this book!!! There were definitely moments when I was annoyed cause she was very forcefully passionate about her women’s rights in a way that felt counterintuitive to her goal πŸ’€ But generally speaking the book was handled so well. He never patronized her and there was no third act breakup/ miscommunication πŸ«¨πŸ’–πŸ’– Just genuine love and affection between them. The last 2 Rokesby books were so good πŸ₯°

Loved this book!! My favorite of the Rokesby series.
I loved the characters and found myself actually laughing out loud. It was so fun to see Violet, Edmund, and the oldest three Bridgerton boys. <spoilers>
