This story made a nice change from the previous bridgerto  books which were beginning to feel formulaic and samey. I also read some reviews when I was about half way through that said this was the steamiest one of them and was thoroughly puzzled by this but they were in fact right! Once it gets going it definitely does so in a way that perhaps only Daphne's story has.

I would have liked the characters to have more discussion about their feelings earlier especially about the marriage and it did make some of the sex feel not 100% consensual as it felt like Michael was pressuring her a bit to change her mind through sex


It was good to hear more from Francesca as she has been notably absent throughout the series so far.
