This book was definitely more action filled than the first book of the series. I loved the banter between Daniel and Anne. It felt a little like the original Bridgerton book about Benedict and Sophie though...

Daniel never really saw Anne as his equal throughout the book. He wanted one thing from her and that was sex and since she was in the employ of his aunt, he never even considered marriage. Not until the very end when he realised he was in love with her instead of in lust. That kind of grated on me during the whole book. The shift from in lust to in love also felt kind of sudden and out of nowhere (coming from Daniel). I would've rated the book higher if this hadn't been the case.

I loved this Cinderella-esque story with its humor, ensamblé cast, and character depth—plus lots of cheesy cuteness. 

However, there were a few moments where it felt uncomfortable that he didn’t understand that he shouldn’t hit on his aunt’s employee and it felt a bit too imbalanced. They did rectify that with lots of consent but still…idk how he knew she was interested without a little audacity on his part.

Andra delen i Smythe-Smith-kvartetten, en serie av Julia Quinn. En bok full av spänning, dramatik och mycket kärlek. 

Huvudkaraktärerna är Daniel, greven som varit på flykt de senaste tre åren efter en olycklig natt och en ännu olyckligare morgon. Den andra huvudkaraktären är Anne som jobbar som guvernant till Daniels tre kusiner och har ett mystiskt förflutet. 

Som sagt en otrolig dramatisk och spännande bok med mycket kärlek. Rekommenderar till alla Brigerton-älskare eller om man vill ha en underhållande bok med historisk romans.
