This was a delightfully sex-positive love story between a pleasure-house madame and a sheltered duke. I really appreciated Davidson's exploration of sexual shame in Bennett's storyline, and the ways in which Delilah helps him to gain confidence through self-acceptance. Bennett's sister and brother-in-law make fantastic side characters, and their appearances in the final scenes were laugh-out-loud funny. I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas-time novella!
Graphic: Sexism, Sexual content, Toxic relationship, and Classism
Moderate: Death of parent
