This book was extremely slow in the beginning but once it picked up, it PICKED UP and I couldn’t put it down.

I love the characters individually, but I wasn't fond of the premise of their romance, and books where being smitten as children elide the introduction frustrate me. This one was better than others in that they still show that introduction and show how the characters' dynamics have stayed the same or changed over time, what that means for each of them, that Ballentine's needling of Lucie is an aspect of trying to get and keep her attention - but his proposition was still a slightly sour taste in my mouth. I also was not fond of how the dynamic with Arthur played out, and feel that he as a character could have been better than his stereotypical outcome.

this book was  fantastic. i can’t even describe how perfect the banter was. the tension was literally unreal. i was probably screeching for at least 75% of the reading time. PERFECTION.

It's an enjoyable read - I think of all the characters from this series so far, Lucie is the one I connect with the most (the whole career oriented, won't let a man interfere kind of thing). It was interesting to read this as the nation has a conversation about women losing the right to control their own bodies.

I am obsessed with this series! It is loosely connected with the prior book in the series, and I do recommend reading them in order, but it's not altogether necessary. Having met both of the protagonists in the prior book, I was curious to see where this one would go, but it really sold me on the characters' relationship. The added elements of the women's suffrage movement, strong friendships, and complicated family relationships put this one a cut above your average, enjoyable romance for me.
