I maintain that this series is for silly billies. Emily Rath knows what you want and delivers, but the plot suffers, and the book is too long. There are some great moments, though, and I legitimately laughed when we discovered who was behind the ugly paintings from book 1. I did love the polyam and bi male MC (x3) rep. It's a good time if you can suspend disbelief to enjoy a silly reverse harem.

Note: this is not a stand alone, you need to read Beautiful Things (book 1) first before starting this book.
This duology is wonderful. Its' a Regency Romance with a twist. Rosalie will not be trapped by the cage that is marriage. James, Burke & Tom are three best friends. The developing love between the four of them is deep and delightful. The slow-burn of book one paid out in book two. The second book turns up the heat (and the kink) from the start.
I received an ARC in return for an honest review.
