The sex is great, but takes a while to get there.
The twists!
Most importantly, the love is so, so beautifully written. Honestly, all the emotions are beautifully written.

i adore slow burn enemies to lovers, but the old timey language and ideals bothered me (even though they were part of the time period). i’ll definitely be reading the other books in the series!

This book was significantly better than Hooked. The storyline, the characters, the audio narrators, the spice, everything improved. I really enjoyed Sara B's sassy attitude and her feministic personality despite it being the early 1900s. I had a hard time seeing a connection between Sara & Tristan before the church scene & felt there should have been more there. I also loved Tristan as a character. Honestly, the two of them were made for each other.
