“The next time you face a room full of strangers . . . you might tell yourself that some of them are just friends waiting to be found.”

This was so fun, and way better than the first book in this series. And Lillian was an absolutely fantastic protagonist who lived up to every single expectation I had!

⇢The Plot
I think that the plot in this book was a lot less distinct than book one, and revolved a lot more around the character’s interactions rather than events or balls or whatever. I didn’t mind that at all, in fact, I think it worked really well for this couple!

On the other hand, the ending, I didn’t love. Maybe it’s just me but the ending made St. Vincent look like a villain, but then he gets his own book? Like, his behaviour in this book really makes me not want to continue to the next one…

⇢Lillian
Lillian was BY FAR the best part of this book. Strong female protagonists in historical books are always the best purely because you get to see them fighting against the restraints placed on them by society, and our outspoken heroine followed through on that. Her character was refreshing and fun and all-around great!

“Fear you?" she said without thinking. "Good God, I would never do that." "No, you wouldn't," he agreed. "You'd spit in the devil's eye if it suited you.”




⇢Marcus
I didn’t love Marcus, but he was definitely a better love-interest than Hunt. I really liked his personality and literally all of his interactions with Lillian were hilarious. Their banter >>
