The Mistress Experience is such a funny and sweet romance story! I have read all three books in Scarlett Peckham's The Secrets of Charlotte Street series and I loved them all. While I definitely plan to read the first two in the Secrets of Sirens series, I could not resist jumping to this one first when I received the arc. 

Thais is such a vibrant and lovable main character and I think starting with her story endeared me to the friend group in such a special way as I was able to view everyone through her perspective. She is so fiery and passionate and I love her zest for life. 

Alastair is so gentle and compelling. I enjoyed reading his perspective and watching him work through his anxieties and childhood traumas that have impacted his adult life. 

Their romance is adorable and of course very spicy! Definitely a 4/5 on the spice scale. 

I highly recommend this for historical and contemporary romance readers alike. If you like to laugh and swoon, this is the author for you!
