*** Book Q & A***
* How did the book make you feel?: I enjoyed this somewhat slow-burn romance.
* How do you feel about how the story was told?: I enjoyed how the H was immersed in the h’s world. I wish this book would’ve packed more punch with the angst. I felt the book glossed over what would’ve been super angsty once the couple arrived in London.
* What did you think about the main characters?: I liked both of the MC’s. They were each short-sighted in their own ways, but they came across as genuinely good people.
* Which parts of the book stood out to you?: I enjoyed the coin and the groveling!
* What themes/tropes did you detect in the story?: rake and innocent virgin h, Regency, enemies to lovers, H not over dead wife’s bad behavior
* What did you think about the ending?: I wanted him to take her on a honeymoon, dang it! Did he? Surely he did! The epilogue was far into the future, but very sweet.
* What is your impression of the author?: This author is very talented. I love her historical notes at the end of her novels. My favorite will likely always be His Deceitful Duchess. It was fun seeing Mrs. Knight and Sebastian again!
Possible Triggers and Safety: rake hero, virgin h, alcoholism, gambling addiction, no cheating, h and H pushing away, HEA
