“You do not ever have to plead with me, my love. He kissed her lips. “I am your willing slave.”
I loved this book so much, I think it was the best book in the series alongside it being the most scandalous.
Jo is a fantastic woman who exudes so much confidence, she is also a very inspirational woman who deserves the very best in life; especially when she already does everything a man can do but men aren’t as kind to accept that in her society.
Richard is a simp at heart who often walks around like he’s a red flag but produces green flags when alone with Jo. Richard is my favourite love interest within the series purely because of his character development. He goes from being a notorious rake and a hard nose man to someone who allows love to consume him and he also becomes someone who grows softer towards his family.
A big part of this story was the friendship between Selena and Jo. Selena’s storyline with Mick was heartbreaking to say the least and to have Jo by her side was beautiful. Sometimes when your life is going in the wrong direction, you need one person to make things easier, and Jo was indeed that person for Selena. In addition to the friendship that was between Jo and Selena, the friendships between the previous women who have starred in stories was beautiful to read about to. It showed that you can find family within friendships, and that just because you’re a little different and “scandalous” doesn’t mean you can’t find women who love you for who you are.
I think the ending was perfect and just how it should’ve been for these characters, and I love that I got to read little facts at the end about how the theatre industry was. The research that is evident within this story is fantastic.
If you’re looking for a regency story that is an entire series, then this would be perfect for you!
