This is the first historical romance I've read with FMC who is so invested in social and political causes, and this is a bit of representation I really appreciated. Likewise this may be the first POC immigrant MMC (at least in M/F).
I think the interpersonal conflict between the MCs is entirely too reliant on miscommunication / lack of communication, and I'm not a big fan of hos antagonistic they can be towards each other at times. Other plot elements were far more interesting and I wish had taken center stage.
This wasn't a stand-out read for me, but I'm very intrigued by this author and plan to seek out more of her writing in the future.

Ok the banter and smutty scenes were GOOD but then the last half of the book were totally unhinged?
