A review by kabrahams
His at Night by Sherry Thomas

4.5

This was an absolutely wild ride. Vere is a secret agent trying to investigate Elissande's uncle who is conveniently out of the house, leaving Elissande somewhat in charge as her aunt is bedridden, so he concocts (involving rats of all things) to infiltrate with a seemingly innocuous house party. Elissande has schemes of her own to entrap Vere in marriage so that she and her aunt can escape from her abusive uncle's clutches. And that's only the beginning...

I am an absolute sucker for marriage of convenience and this is easily one of the wildest I've ever read. But not only that, but the character work, the plot twists, and the quality of Sherry Thomas's writing is absolutely breathtaking.
