3.5 stars
Entertaining, especially the second half. I had expected the footman plot to be more prominent though and I do feel that Dominic and Fallon's relationship was built more on lust than love.

Fallon begins working for the the Demon Duke, Dominic Hale. She disguises herself as a footman to avoid being mistreated. Dominic felt one dimensional, and I couldn't see any chemistry between Fallon and Dominic.

Ich hab am Anfang ein bisschen gebraucht um hineinzukommen und das Ende hätte noch ein paar Seiten vertragen können.

I didn't really know much about this going in, but I liked it ok! The characters are pretty aggressive bordering on non consensual sometimes, but there was decent banter and approaches to themes of forgiveness that I found intriguing enough to continue with. I wanted a bit more focus on that theme and getting to know the characters beyond the surface that I got, but all in all a good time.

This is a book where abused kids as adults are expected to forgive their abusers and abusers are offered sympathy because they are old and scared of not going to heaven. That’s not something that I go for and I quite enjoyed the book until the 3rd act break up. Apparently people cannot truly love unless they forgive their abuser.

It’s a message some people like, but I do not.
