I really love this “regency women’s rights” romance subgenre. As if that wasn’t wonderful enough, Devon offers an actual complex male character that pauses and reflects about why he’s reacting to his wife in a certain way and then chooses to act differently. He also has a host of emotions he doesn’t know how to process. And the female protagonist didn’t backdown and stood her ground with a clarity and backbone that will take your breath away. For such a small novel, it was packed with so much goodness! Devon has made it to my list of favorite authors!
