Thank you so, so much to Avon and Netgalley for providing an e-arc copy. All thoughts and opinions are still my own.

No writes queer historical fiction like Cat Sebastian. I always fall completely in love with her characters and romances, and this was no exception.

The grumpy/sunshine mixed with different classes was such a fantastic mix of tropes that left me swooning over this romance. I really loved the chemistry between these two characters and how they grew to respect and love each other.

One thing I always love about this author's books is the representation she adds into an otherwise underrepresented genre. Not only is there queer rep in here, but Kit is disabled and dealing with chronic pain. As someone with chronic illness, this is always something I'm looking for in books I thought the rep was absolutely fantastic.

The heist portion itself wasn't my favorite. I thought the concept was fun but there was a lot of slow build up with a somewhat lackluster culmination.

Overall this is a must read for historical romance lovers! It's fun, swoony, and full of amazing representation. I can't wait to binge Cat Sebastian's next release!
