⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m not always the biggest fan of the whole redeemed rake trope, but I really liked Marcus despite his less than stellar reputation. He was a very sweet guy and was very understanding and patient with Phoebe. I didn’t necessarily find her to be a spitfire, but I liked her a lot anyway. I really liked that she didn’t let her parents push her around as so many historical romance heroines are wont to do.
Th biggest chunk of the action happens near the end of the book, but this did not take away from the rest of the title. There was still plenty going on to keep my attention. Watching Marcus and Phoebe’s relationship progress was delightful. I was afraid at the very beginning that insta-lust was going to ruin the book, but Marcus and Phoebe moved their relationship along at a nice, even pace.
I can’t wait for Anthony and Jane’s story!!
*I received an eARC of this title from the author in exchange for an honest review.
