Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance review copy of this book. All opinions are my own. 

To be honest, this one wasn't for me. I didn't feel any connection between the two characters and the side characters felt very one-dimensional. I even found myself skipping through the spicy scenes (which weren't all that spicy) because they didn't have the connection and there was no tension.

This book is the definition of #girlboss #slayqueen and I mean that in a negative way. It’s SO on the nose that it’s just exhausting. Also… she’s super “feminist” but anti labor rights? Also why are all of the non cis white characters servants?? rubbed me the wrong way, even if “historically accurate.” Had to force myself to finish it. 0.5 stars just because I liked the male love interest
