Book was just fine. The fact that he's called Devil kind of took me out of it.

The pandemic really stole away my ability to focus & read but I devoured this book in a way that I haven't read a book in a very long time. I feel like I finally got my reading mojo back. 
I shaved a tiny bit off because, as much as I loved the dialogue & how the main characters verbally sparred & danced around each other, they carried on just a little long at times. The dialogue itself, however, was delightful. So much so that I could see chunks of it being pieced together into a really great audition monologue material - comedic or dramatic or both. 
The heroine is feisty and the anti-hero rogue made consent hot af & the foreplay that it should be. The slow burn spicy scenes were absolutely swoon-worthy. I am all in for this series and so glad a friend recommended it to me.

Bon .. eh bien ce sera un rendez-vous raté ... Je ne comprends pas trop, parce qu'au vu du scénario et des personnages, ce livre avait tout pour me plaire, seulement, je me suis ennuyée, j'ai trouvé le livre poussif et j'ai dû batailler pour le terminer.

Je n'ai pas vraiment accroché avec les deux héros, et finalement, j'ai été plus intéressée par Grace et Ewan (un comble pour ce dernier, car il est plutôt présenté comme une belle pourriture, et pourtant ... j'aimerais bien en savoir plus sur lui !), un peu par Whit, mais ce dernier est finalement très discret.

Je ne saurais pas vraiment dire ce qui cloche ici, ou du moins ce qui m'a déplu. Tous les ingrédients sont là, le problème c'est que c'est du déjà lu, et les publications récentes de J'ai Lu sont pour moi meilleures que cette nouvelle version du chat de gouttière des bas-fonds londoniens qui fraye avec une belle aristocrate.
