A really interesting premise (virgin hero vs. courtesan heroin) that Courtney Milan handles really well ! The book does not shy away from the realities of courtesan life in the period without being overtly bleak and I loved how Sir Mark frames his committment to chastity as women-centric (a little too good to be true ? Still, I'lll take it!)
I was also really interested in the Turner family dynamics and will read the next book.
