I found this book fascinating - it's about so much more than "just" the doppelgänger experience between Naomi Wolfe and Naomi Klein.

I liked the previous series but this one was not my kind of book. I felt put off by the extensive colonization and apologetics for that colonization. I don’t remember if it was as overt in the previous books, or if in more aware of it.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Sexism and Colonisation
Slightly Dangerous by Mary Balogh
I think to appreciate this book fully, you may have to read all of the other books in the series - they're not all amazing -but they're very easy reads. Wulfric is the stoic emotionless Duke, larger than life, more serious than serious. There were definitely Pride and Prejudice vibes going on here so if that's your jam, you might dig this. It's regency style, but there is open door spice.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Sexual content, Gaslighting, and Classism

I would give this book 10 stars out of 5, and I look forward to reading it again.
This one sets the stage for the ART x Murderbot situations in the future and I am grateful for it.
