A near perfect historical romance - funny, charming and sexy, with a dash of danger. However, what really made this sparkle for me was the rebuke of aristocracy as a moral profession, the plot's determination that even the most benevolent earls are unethical and the amassing of wealth or power is not the end goal or either character. Unsurprisingly, this isn't something I often find in histroms, so this was a delightful departure from form. Kit and Percy similarly, are a surprisingly sweet pairing and them finding their way to each other despite their differences perfectly mirrors the arc of the plot. Highly, highly recommend!
