This book is an absolute delight to read. Cat Sebastian is one of the only authors that I have enjoyed their historical romances consistently. Both the main characters are loveable and their separate points of view were equally as well done.
I loved the use of the grumpy and sunshine trope especially because Marian was the cynical grump. I don't often get the grumpy character in an m/f romance as the woman. The relationship was developed in a fun way. I loved that the characters both started falling right off the bat. The letters at the start added to the story and jumped you into it without too much exposition.
I haven't had the chance to read the first book in the series but I still didn't feel like I was missing context. The sexual content was great, especially in its exploration of consent. Overall the book was a breath of fresh air that I absolutely recommend.
Marian is a woman trapped in a bad marriage who shoots her husband and Rob is the man that was blackmailing her. The beginning of the book starts with the letters between Marianne and Rob and they are absolutely fantastic. The letters jump you into the story. They get through the exposition while also remaining interesting and fun to read and giving a very good understanding of the two main characters and their future relationship.
Cat Sebastian is undeniably my queen of historical romance.
