This story follows Warren, a barkeep at a molly house, and Matty, a detective, as they bond through the unlikely meeting at an art class.
This historical, dual POV novel was a joy to read. Warren is effortlessly charming and him and Matty have lovely chemistry. I loved how the art class and drawings were important to the story. There isn't much in the way of plot, but I don't mean that in a bad way at all - each character was fully fleshed out and really came to life on the page through this character-driven story. The cast of side characters was delightful, and reading this story made me want to jump into the author's other books from this interconnected standalone series! I am curious to learn more about each couple that we got to see in this story.
"But Warren, I will be to you whatever this age demands of us. I'll be a back alley sneak or a pining celibate or anything in between. I don't care what it is, or whether it's easy. I'll have you in any capacity necessary."
Simply a very sweet historical romance that I definitely recommend picking up! You do not have to read the previous books in the series to fully enjoy this one.
