My overall vibe while listening to the audiobook of this was that I really enjoyed this story. I was engaged throughout, wasn't quite sure where it was going to go. There were bits I did not like - the romance is a bit dated, some scenes between the FMC and MMC felt a bit dubious in the concent and I hated the way the FMCs virginity was emphasised, but broadly speaking I was having a good time listening. The scene with the Song of Solomon? Or the room with the clothes? I was delighted.
Looking back having finished the story, I've growing issues with aspects of the plot. Hester's finances makes zero sense at all. She becomes more passive once Galen is on the scene. I didn't appreciate the wife / mistress comparisons. But on the whole I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting to.
