📝Even though MMC basically loved FMC from the start, and I'm usually a sucker for that, it was kind of hard to root for him because he kept something secret from her that he definitely shouldn't have, for like a long time. I admired FMC's commitment to the cause (women's rights and suffrage) even if she could be myopic about it. And I learned a bit from the book about the state of women's rights in Victorian England. 

🎧 Dual POV, only one (female) narrator, she was good. 

🌶️ 3.5/5 There were a few steamy scenes but they weren't super graphic. 

🏳️‍🌈✊ Neurodivergence rep!! MMC probably has ADHD. His mother has a mental illness--at least depression, possibly bipolar.

Genre: historical romance

Diversity: feminist

Moods: Tense, romantic, feminist

Pace: medium to fast

Device(s): multiple POV

Trope(s): Enemies to lovers, forced business partners, wager

Notes: expertly crafted enemies to lovers - new “trope” that I’d love to see more of: forced business partners - Tristan and Lucie are both complex and made for each other - rare in a book series that I like the second book more than the first! Loved it!
