Sooooo I'm obsessed with this book now. Liza and Dorsey's tension was *delicious* and I was hooked after their second encounter. Nikki Payne had me laughing, grasping imaginary pearls, and fantasizing the entire time. 

It cracks me up that I almost forgot this was a Pride and Prejudice retelling because of how racy it got. Nikki made the connections clear with clever name changes but the plot was super elaborate and relatable to present day. I love how she handled themes like grief, adoption, belonging, and complicated family dynamics on top of those already present in the original tale like class. 

I can't wait to read Sex, Lies and Sensibility and anything else Nikki Payne writes!
