I've never read a historical romance quite like this! It was a perfect blend of vigilante superhero drama and period romance - a combination I didn't know I needed until now. While the hero resembled Bruce Wayne in many ways, I thoroughly enjoyed the premise of the story. Artemis the heroine was the heart of the novel, overlooked and sidelined she takes the reigns to try and save her brother and I loved her perspective.

I also really enjoy how the maiden lane series uses different chapter POVs to introduce characters who become the focus in later books.
