I was encouraged to read this by friends, even though historical romances are not generally a genre I lean into. But, I’ve never been more pleased to be proven wrong in judging before I began.

This book absolutely enthralled me from the minute I turned the first page and met Bennet. She’s a phenomenal FMC, particularly as she’s in a role where she is an extreme minority and she excels. 

I would 100% take a look at the list of TWs for this, it is dark and with some intense scenes that will not be for everyone. 

I cannot believe this is a standalone, I would genuinely happily read many, many books with Bennet, Priest and Ashley and it’s doubtful I’d get bored of them.
