This did such a fair treatment of Lucie. I love how their relationship was grown and fought for. The ending is truly right for her character.

I think there is alot to applaud in this historical romance. Love a secret lovesick pup cosplaying as a rake. Absolutely adore the way this book ends. Not saying cause it would spoil but it is so authentic to our MC and I appreciate the author for it.
There was sooo much going on though that no everything felt really fleshed out. 
But anyways, Tristan and his poetry were still a win.

This was not my favorite of the series so far (the first one was fine!), but I will continue on and see if I like the third one. First of all, I found the inclusion of the Shiva tattoo to be ..... a choice. I don't know, I just felt it was unnecessary and if you're going to do something like this, as a white writer, you need to do your due diligence and you *need* to hire sensitivity readers. I appreciate whenever historical romance tries to add commentary on the racism, sexism, colonization, etc. of the time, but you still need to do it with immense care. 

Tristan & Lucie were okay; I do enjoy a slow burn because I love the unraveling of each character and the final ultimate "okay fine you have broken down my walls and I want you!" That is always delicious. However, I just could not find the male love interest that redeemable. Was he charismatic and had his sweet moments? Yes, absolutely. I just didn't feel he redeemed himself, that's all!

Steam was a 2.5/5
