Could not put it down!! Ok so yes I had to for icecream but that's it! So good.
I love learning thing and the setting of the 1900s in NYC is perfect. Government corruption, the society is different and the hero has a disability and so does the heroine to an extent.
When will I get Frank's story!!!

An original premise and characters that show actual growth? What a great way to develop a torrid romance novel!

When Oliver talks about his disability as a deaf person I realized how I didn't know much about it, and also the fact I don't remember having ever read a story with a deaf MC. I always love a brilliant misunderstood engineer in my historicals, and Oliver is no exception. I loved how the banter with Christina works right away, how she is curious and drawn to him immediately, and how she wants to learn sign langage to adapt to him (not expecting him to adapt to her). I LOVED when they had sex, and he's loosing it while she pleasure him, starting to sign and she tells him to keep doing it even if she doesn't understand. That was so hot and beautiful!!! It's a nice way to show that neurotypicals should not be scared of people with disabilities, but just accept them as they are, because we are all different in our own way and that's the beauty of humanity.
I loved the heat between the MCs, which shouldn't come at a surprise as I enjoyed her novellas so far (My Dirty Duke is still number one of my heart). It's my first full length book from her, and it definitely won't be the last. I'm already curious about the other heroes from this series like Julius Hatcher & his wife Nora, or Oliver's lawyer, Frank Tripp from the Uptown Girls series.

I thoroughly loved this book. The main characters were likable and relatable. The history was interesting. I'm so glad I picked it up!

This was a very strong 3.5 so I'm rounding up to 4 stars for the deaf hero representation. Enjoyed this unique romance, mild steam but loved how the author explained how a deaf person can communicate and find their happiness.

A flat-out one sitting read. I picked up my hold at the library and soon found myself eating a sandwich one-handed and trying to pour a glass of milk with only half an eye. The care and work Shupe has taken with her Deaf hero is outstanding. The plot is first-rate (fake-marriage trope, yes!) and the secondary characters are excellent: Christina’s parents are the actual WORST, Oliver’s cousin is appropriately greedy, and Oliver’s little sister is endearingly spunky. The best of The Four Hundred Series thus far.

I would have liked to see the heroine grow some more in her strength but the book was delightful. I enjoyed it better than the first 2 in this series.

DNF.
The sweetness was overwhelming, as in, it was such a surface read that I didn’t feel anything for the characters or the plot. It seemed like all my catnip - working with disability (hero is deaf), beta hero, heroine’s family is shite but she’s sweet... it just fell so flat to me that I couldn’t get more than 60%.
