Super fun to read. I am so down bad for the secret identity trope that almost anything with that in it will be a fun read for me, but the added mystery and action at the end was actually very good. The historical aspect of this was lacking, but I honestly didn’t really care. The banter and growing relationship between Luke and Portia was cute, and they actually do seem well matched. I also really like both of them as characters. Portia is strong without being “not like other girls” which is incredibly refreshing. She also had an ultimatum, and stuck by it and was not swayed, which I also liked. Overall, very entertaining!
