this book was such a delight, and such a good sequel to Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen. I love how KJ Charles writes romance and real authentic people and the mistakes they make and the unintentional hurts they cause and the forgiveness they give. It's just so beautiful.
I love these characters, and I hope it's not the last we see of Romney Marsh πππ

I love Luke as a secretary, the characterization is so precise that it firmly establishes his adult self in this new story on his own terms. Rufus fits him well, and I like them as a pair. The worldbuilding is consistent with the first book, but it assumes a familiarity with the Marsh and takes for granted that either the reader won't need a great deal of explanations, or is satisfied with the level of information which Rufus acquires.
