Absolutely phenomenal. Evie Dunmore is unmatched.

This book is everything I had hoped The Duke and I would be—it doesn’t just say “women are inexperienced and kept naive!,” it delves deeper and begins to challenge it.

Hattie is immensely likable and is the person we all want to root for. Lucian has so much depth and honestly I found him really likable in a different way. He’s a PERFECT broody and unwitting hero.

I wish we’d gotten a little more of Hattie’s friends, and the journey at the end seemed a bit abrupt, but it worked overall so I can’t complain.

All the stars. Auto-buy author for sure.
