High society, swashbuckling adventure, women’s rights and a dash of romance? Be still my soul! This book has everything. The first book in this series single-handedly reignited my love of reading that has been dormant for a decade. This one is darker than the first but every bit as wonderful. I’m always game for feisty feminist historical fiction. I adore Gus, Julia, Kent and Evan and can hardly wait for the adventure to continue!
