We love autistic characters in historical romance in this house! Alice's desire to get what she wants and her absolute certainty that what she wants is Daniel are really enjoyable as driving forces for the plot. I felt so touched by how safe these two complete freaks felt with each other.
I know the tone and pacing of this book (and the rest of the series) won't appeal to everyone, but I find it so funny and engaging. I also felt like the epilogue that capped off the whole series was surprisingly lovely. This whole series was fun and unique, I strongly recommend if you're willing to read something bonkers!

Okay, I bought this book for the beautiful cover and the interesting title... Not having a clue that I just picked up part 3 of a series. That didn't help. This is probably my first time reading a book with an autistic-reading protagonist. It offered an interesting perspective... but was, at times, also exasperating to read her continuous misunderstanding of idioms. Then again, perhaps that says more about my own ableism that I was not aware of. The characters grew on me, became more charming. The intimate scenes were spectacularly well-written and offered insight in handling those as a neurodiverse person with sensory issues and mental overload. The overall "plot" and other characters though... too much #lolrandom for my taste. But still 3,5 stars for ingenuity and originality and offering insight in people with differently-wired brains.

Although the gimmick of “the Dangerous Damsels” is getting a bit stale, this book is still charming, littered with literary references, cheeky, and has the best pairing/situation in the entire trilogy.
