This was such a cute novel!

I loved Elias and Dora's banter and relationship, they were so cute! I loved that Dora had such a good relationship with her cousin Vanessa and Atwater made us see the good side of regency, and she did shy away from the dark side of the regency.

The magic of this world gives it such a seriousness of how fae work, and shows what I love of fae creatures!

I liked that the social issues of the regency were present here: normally when I see regency romances I don't really see anyone talk about the issues with regency society, so it was very fresh.

This was such a lovely novel! I want to explore more of Atwater's work!
