Once again, Julia Quinn proves to be one of my favourite authors.
I was so sad when I finished the Bridgerton series, and then I discovered her other collections. This is book 1, of a duet. And I’m so happy that I can finally re-enter the worlds that Quinn creates.
Quinn’s books are exactly what you need them to be. Romantic, daring, sweet and most of the time infuriating (until you finally reach the point where the characters accept they are in love!).
Quinn’s books follow a formula that I will never tire of, and I’m so glad to be back in the land of the Ton.

I enjoyed the relationship between the main characters until shortly after they reconnected. From then on, I found it stilted. Victoria became ridiculously stubborn and refused to share her feelings and Robert continued to do whatever he wanted. This did not age well.annelihghh's review against another edition
