5.0

This is a perfect book and I wept. Honestly, KJC is rarely a miss for me, and I delight in seeing all the ways she can set up an absurd betray-cute. Fortune hunter snares young, innocent miss and falls for her grumpy uncle instead?! Only KJC. I highlighted half of this (Robin and Marianne, siblings of my heart), and I'm so grateful I read A Thief in the Night first, because it made the second epilogue a real joy to read.
