Unsure what I expected but it definitely wasn’t Georgian Batman. I liked it well enough, but something abt both MCs just rubbed me the wrong way. It seemed like there was such an obvious solution to their shared issue but they were both just being dense abt it, which really dragged things out. I do plan on picking up the next one in the series, though.

Oh boy do I really dislike Maximus. I found him to be childish and cruel to Artemis, never truly thinking of her as a person and instead raising her up to a status of a caged goddess for his own ego to be satisfied. He needed to have a heartfelt grovel at the end, which we did not get at all. Artemis, on the other hand, was wonderful. Cool, collected, and infinitely patient. I honestly wanted much better for her.

The other thing I disliked about this book was I found it lacked the realism (or at least semi-realism) of the other books. It was like a marriage of fairytale and romance book, which can be completely fine, but isn't what draws readers into the Maiden Lane series. Early morning barefoot strolls from a lady's companion desperate to keep her job? The constant Diana references? I just didn't find any of this so plausible nor romantic.

The most Batman-like of the series yet. I loved all of the additional details we got from side characters and the Duke of Wakefield was just as starchy and uptight as I expected. Artemis was a lovely FMC, and I enjoyed how strong willed and defiant she was. 

I really hate mistress proposals and this book has that so. Just know that.
