Great story, terrible characters. All in all, a good balance.

I struggle-bussed with this one all week y'all. I'm so glad it is over! I would have DNF'ed at the first five chapters if not for the #ButDoTheybang read-a-along. So many great early Tessa Dare threads are woven into this story, but none of them panned out in a way that worked for me as a now reader.
I'd rather have had a full on Hetta and Joss story, but understand why she didn't write that one. But their arc was undersold. The whole part with the chimney sweeps could have been cut and more time spent giving Hetta and Joss's relationship a little more build up.

I also cannot believe Bel was the one to grovel when Toby was the one who was lying the entire time. She sure wasn't innocent, I just never felt these two were right for one another.
