Format: voluntarily read an advanced reader copy in e-book form from the author
Why I chose this book: I love Knight’s books and want to read them all!
Mains: Annette and Damaris – this is a F/F relationship between two cisgendered queer females
(Descriptions found at end of my review)
But now...all she could think about was the rise and fall of Annette’s bosom and the way her skirt shifted against her legs. What did her skin look like, under all that clothing? That...that wasn’t something one felt for a friend, was it?
Should I read in order?
This is book 2 of Knight’s The Luckiest with Love series – I didn’t read book 1 but found it totally readable alone.
Basic plot:
Annette longs for Damaris from afar as she assists with modiste visits when solving a terror threat provides the opportunity to get closer...
Give this a try if you want:
- Georgian – 1810
- sapphic romance
- Damaris is the daughter of a solicitor
- Annette works for a modiste
- unrequited longing (Annette)
- artist heroine (Damaris)
- naughty art
- shorter novel
- medium – 2 full scenes within a shorter page count
Ages:
- Damaris is 22, Annette is 23
First line:
Damaris Dunham stared at her pink shawl, splattered in dried mud, and distantly wondered why she’d been jilted.
My thoughts:
Oh this novel is so cute and fun! Like all of Anne Knight’s novels.
I’ve been wanting to read more sapphic romance, especially historical so I was excited to see one of my fave authors coming out with a new title. I find Knight’s novellas truly perfect. They flow, they don’t feel rushed, but also feel complete. They give me tension and sweetness and feels and some spice.
I enjoyed the accidental mystery solving in this one, and the awakening of Damaris. I adored her curiosity.

4.5 stars. That relationship moved so fast but damn it was cute 🥹🥹🥹 so so so gay

I lost interest when the modiste character, Annette, was so relieved that she didn't have to work until midnight anymore because she and her mother are so wealthy now. While leaving their staff to sew until midnight and the proof of her mother's beneficence is that the employees are allowed twice as many candles to sew by as other shops would have given them.

Anne knight will forever have me believing that it’s possible to fall in love within a day.
I think I’ll always be in awe at how much she can fit into a novella and how much time we’re given to fall in love with her characters but also believe that they also fall in love and that’s such a talent to be able to do that.
I loved Annette and Damaris, they were great and so gentle with each other which is exactly what I’m looking for when I open up a romance book.
The side plot? Amazing. I love a romance book with a side plot that’s typically what I gravitate towards and I know Anne will always deliver on that front and she’s done it again.
The writing is brilliant, sharp and flows beautifully. The pacing is fabulous but I think that’s something that the author has refined in all of her books which isn’t an easy thing to do but it’s always done sharply!
I wanted a little more of Annette’s POV for no other reason than I just wanted to be in her head for longer because she was so fun!
Another enjoyable read from Anne and an author that I’ll continue to read as she comes out with more releases!
Thank you to the author for sending me the eArC!

Sapphic + historical romance = yes. I don’t make the rules.
This was a fun little novella. Do I wish it had had more on-page falling? Sure. Would I have traded a spy scene for an extra banging scene? Always.
But I love the way this author writes historical details. We had political awkwardness between Britain and Russia during the Napoleonic war. And the class difference in here was really cool: one heroine was a wealthy Brit with a non-aristocratic father, one heroine was a London modiste but her father had been an aristocrat in pre-Revolution France.

Damaris Dunham should probably be more upset that she was jilted by her betrothed, but oddly enough the only emotion she can muster up is relief. And maybe a little annoyance that said jilter got mud on her shawl and that her parents will shortly be resuming their insufferable search for a new arrangement to elevate the family's status in society.
Annette de Morand and her mother fled France during the Reign of Terror. They have found wild success in their Bond Street modiste shop where Annette assists her mother as a seamstress. She has been pining for Damaris since her family became customers, but knows nothing will ever come of it.
When a man claiming to be Annette's cousin approaches Damaris and asks for her to relay a message, Damaris urges Annette to hear him out because he smells like rotten eggs, but insists on accompanying her because you know what else smells like rotten eggs? Gunpowder. A series of discoveries lead them to believe that everyone attending the very ball Damaris is supposed to attend herself that evening may be in grave danger, and they are the only two who can possibly help.
Anne Knight could seriously instruct a master class on the art of crafting novellas. Every time I pick one up, I know I can expect a well rounded story, excellent pacing, and a very swoony romance. The Worst Spy in London was no exception. Annette and Damaris are just so sweet and I thought the plot was incredibly fun! Bless their curiosity and willingness to investigate a man who not only smells really bad, but asks to be met at a p*rn shop.
Overall this sapphic romance ranks a little lower on the scoville scale than some of her other stories until you get to, and correct me if I'm wrong, what I believe the French call "epilogue soixante-neufing". You also may send an inordinate amount of time contemplating whether you should DM Anne to ask where one begins researching the history of what the French definitely do not call "regency era schmornography". IT'S REALLY INTERESTING OK?!
I received a copy of this eARC from the author. All opinions are honest and my own.

This was a quick, fun read.
At around 130 pages, the romance bit moved pretty fast, but as a self proclaimed uhaul lesbian, I’ve been guilty of diving feet first more than once in my life, so no judgement 😂
I mean, as far as the plot goes, I wouldn’t say dive in for that, but if you’re looking for a quick open door, historical/ sapphic romance, this would scratch that itch.
The only reason I’m leaving 3 stars here, is because I don’t think I would re-read this over and over. It was fun while it lasted though. There’s nothing overly wrong with it, I just tend to reserve the 4 and 5 stars for books I’ll re-read. I am grateful to have received an advanced copy for free. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

4 stars. Will review later. Today is a terrible flare up day and I cannot be bothered right now.

This novella is charming, clever and quietly romantic. Damaris and Annette are two very different young women caught up in a spy plot that’s almost as risky as falling for each other. Anne Knight packs a full emotional arc into a short page count—complete with yearning, self-discovery, espionage antics, and one overbearing mother. Sweet, sapphic, and satisfying.

We met Damaris briefly in the Fiercest Pirate of Surrey, when her fiancé was jilting her for his true love and childhood best friend (that book is perfect, go back and read it 💕). At the start of this, she’s realizing she’s not at all upset about being left, and instead is feeling some relief about the whole thing. Meanwhile, Annette, her modiste’s daughter, has been secretly pining after her since they met a few months ago. When the two uncover a potential French spy plot that could lead to the loss of lives, they embark on a mission to save the day. While also exploring neighborhoods for naughty illustrations, how to initiate a kiss with a woman, and accidental voyeurism.
Watching Damaris slowly realize her preference for other women was so well executed. It balanced this hilarity of the situation with the sexual tension Damaris is starting to understand she’s actually been feeling for a while. I truly love how both of these women see the other as this cool, confident, and worldly woman, while inside, they’re also freaking out about each other. It’s one of my favorite things in romances to see, and it’s especially prevalent with Damaris here. She starts the novel sort of timid and just rolling along with what her parents think, but you slowly see her develop this confidence throughout the novella. A confidence, Annette always knew she had and saw in her from the first. It’s a sweet bit, and I think it helps you further buy into their romance in such a brief period.
Which brings me to my final point of Anne Knight truly being an expert in the novella space. She knows how to establish character and plot so quickly while also creating a wonderful blend of steamy tension. Her novellas never disappoint in providing a full reading experience in the span of 130 or so pages. They never feel rushed, but just the right balance of romance and external stakes. While this one had the “catch the potential spy plot” going on, it also never let us forget about the romance developing between Annette and Damaris.

Short, Sweet, Sexy, and Exciting
Historical Fiction and Queer Stories are two of my favorite genres, and I will never get tired of them colliding. This little novella did not disappoint on either front.
I loved the historical setting, the fashion details, the sapphic themes, and even the underlying plot tension. I related most to Damaris, in that she is more petite and inexperienced in the realm of sapphic romance, and that she is quite attracted to the curvy girl that she sees as way out of her league despite their respective classes. I relate to her insecurity as she discovers this whole new side of herself, and I love the way she comes into her own as she spends more time with Annette.
Though this book is short, so much happens over the course of a couple days (at most) that it didn't feel like I was missing anything. The romance aspect may have escalated quite quickly, buuut it is a lesbian story, so it's not quite so unreasonable to imagine them falling so quickly, especially given the intensity of their shared perilous experience.
It does have two open door scenes (one in the Epilogue), so just know to expect that going in. I've been reading tame stories lately and completely forgot this one was steamier, so it definitely caught me off-guard at first (especially when they used historical words like "cunny" and "quim"). But! The scenes were still well done overall, and much more believable as lesbian love versus most girl-on-girl scenes made by men (at least that I've seen).
Plus, haven't we all fantasized about a gorgeous, experienced girl gently taking charge and teaching us a thing or two about how to give and receive womanly pleasures? Can't just be me, right?
Overall, I could see myself reading this again. Maybe not as often as some of my other cozy reads because my ace side has to space out the spice, but I will likely revisit Annette and Damaris at some point.
Bonus: The author gave a shout-out to us bi women who happened to marry men, so I felt seen.

Thank you BookSprout & Anne Knight for the ARC. I’m happy to leave an honest review.
Firstly, I generally avoid novellas because I think they are always too short to properly flesh out a story. I am so glad that I took a chance on this one! Anne Knight has officially changed my stance on novellas with this witty, fun & entertaining wlw story. It never felt rushed or undeveloped in any way and that truly surprised me. The writing was succinctly descriptive while still being full of depth! Bravo!
This was a sweet coming of age story between Damaris and Annette. We meet Damaris having just been left by her fisnce and she doesn’t really give a hoot. If she’s being honest with herself, she’s breathing a big sigh of relief…though she has yet to realize why exactly. While her parents continue their hunt for a proper high society suitor for her, Damaris develops a friendship with her seamstress, Annette.
Annette and her mother have fled from France and have created a thriving seamstress shop. Annette only has eyes for Damaris! She has a major crush on her which only grows stronger every time Damaris comes into her shop for a dress fitting or alteration. Annette attempts to push her feelings away believing that Damaris could never return them. I’m so happy she’s wrong! I was so excited to read about Damaris' self discovery as she realized that she had feelings for Annette that were so much more than just friendly. Her feelings for Annette grew organically and believably. I was so excited for the two of them and especially for Annette. Who amongst us doesn’t have an unrequited love that we so wish would feel any kind of spark in return? Well, I was so happy that Annette got her girl! I was truly thrilled for the both of them and was smiling from ear to ear whilst reading. Their tender moments build into so much more and we do get a little spice to boot! A lovely story with a HEA.
I would highly recommend you pick up this deceptively deep and yet deliciously sweet historical fiction sapphic romance. I will certainly be looking for more from Anne Knight!!

Anne Knight has the secret sauce when it comes to writing novellas and short stories. The Worst Spy in London is the second story in her Luckiest with Love series. Like The Fiercest Pirate in Surrey, this book has the same cozy romance with an action-forward plot. The stakes are a bit higher in this novella, as the main characters work to thwart the plans of a dangerous man.
Damaris is the recently jilted daughter of a solicitor being forced into society again by her mother. Annette is the French modiste’s daughter who always happens to take Damaris’s dress fitting appointments. From Annette we get yearning, and from Damaris we get self-discovery. There’s a fun experience gap between the two women and a disproportionate salacious sapphic illustration that inspires Damaris to test the waters sooner rather than later.
I enjoyed the adorably sweet moments between Annette and Damaris that demonstrate how the spark between them has been slowly kindling since their previous meetings. Damaris’ feelings towards Annette were believable descriptions for a woman with no knowledge of women who love women. Realizing the ways Annette has shown her tenderness towards her crush through her craft deepened the relationship beyond insta-love.
This is the 5th novella I have read from Anne and there is no redundancy. Each one has a different setup, different tropes, and different pacing. However they work beautifully together within each series. Although I consider her novella royalty, I am more than eager for her first full-length novel!

Damaris has recently been jilted, but she doesn’t feel much about it other than relief. She’s quite happy to head back to London with her disappointed parents. Though she is resigned to her parents’ attempts to make her an advantageous match, Damaris has never understood the appeal in marrying a man.
In London, Annette assists her mother in their successful Bond Street modiste shop. She is the daughter of French aristocrats, forced from their home by the French Revolution and Napoleon’s rule. She is thrilled to see Damaris returning to the shop as she secretly pines for her.
Damaris is eager to pursue a friendship with the bold Annette, but she soon starts to realise that perhaps she feels something more than friendly towards her. When a suspicious cousin of Annette wants information about an upcoming ball that will have the cream of society (including international ambassadors) attending, they uncover a plot that poses danger to anyone present.
The espionage plot serves as a perfect opportunity for Damaris and Annette to spend time alone together and explore the burgeoning connection between them. Damaris’s introduction to sapphic p*rn raises a lot of questions she’d never considered before, and Annette is more than happy to provide answers. Practical demonstrations don’t hurt either.
The pacing of this short novella is perfect as the pair race to foil the plot. I enjoyed how Annette has always seen the bold, elegant Damaris that was hidden under her unfashionable attire, and it was delightful to see Damaris embracing that side of herself. There’s limited time for Damaris and Annette to explore their new romance during the main plot, but a spicy little epilogue was a perfect way to round it off - and I loved Damaris’s new venture! Anne Knight really excels at writing novellas that are fun, steamy and packed with plot - and this was no exception!

In London, Annette assists her mother in their successful Bond Street modiste shop. She is the daughter of French aristocrats, forced from their home by the French Revolution and Napoleon’s rule. She is thrilled to see Damaris returning to the shop as she secretly pines for her.
Damaris is eager to pursue a friendship with the bold Annette, but she soon starts to realise that perhaps she feels something more than friendly towards her. When a suspicious cousin of Annette wants information about an upcoming ball that will have the cream of society (including international ambassadors) attending, they uncover a plot that poses danger to anyone present.

This picks up from Damaris’ point of view, from the end of The Luckiest Pirate in Surrey, of her and her parent’s reactions to Ben Littleton eloping with Hester. But you don’t have to have read the first book to enjoy this one. Although it’s great and enjoyable.
We didn’t learn a lot about Damaris in the first book beyond her pink shawl and Ben and her not suiting. So I really liked how she became more than a side character with an assertive and artistic personality. The continuation of the shawl and how its meaning changed was a nice tie in.
Annette escaped from France with her mother and after years of struggle, they’re seeing the fruits of their labor with a successful modiste shop. She’s longed to act on her feelings towards Damaris when she visits her shop but knows she can’t.
I loved the yearning in this story. They both yearned, although in different ways, and enjoyed seeing it unfold. A journey of self discovery for Damaris as her and Annette track down a potential threat leads to kissing lessons and an understanding of feelings she’s been unsure what they meant until now.
While the plot opened ways for Annette and Damaris to be together outside a client/customer relationship, the romance was always at the forefront.
The Worst Spy in London is second in the Luckiest in Love series. It could be read as a standalone.
There are two open door encounters and voyeurism.

Annette de Morand was the daughter of the deceased Baron de Beauvilliers. When she was five, her mother and she fled France during the Reign of Terror. Now, eighteen years later, she works as a modiste in her mother’s very busy Bond Street shop. Damaris Durham was the daughter of a very wealthy solicitor whose goal was to increase his social standing by marrying her off to a nobleman’s son. When they were invited to a ball thrown by the Duke of Westbrook, a client of Mr. Durham, Damaris and her mother ordered dresses from Annette’s mother’s shop. Annette harbored lustful thoughts regarding Damaris, and since Damaris was looking for a friend, they struck up conversation. One day when they ran into each other at another shop and were conversing, a man claiming to be related to Annette interrupted them, asking that Annette stop by his rooms. When Annette and Damaris did just that, he was not there, but plans and the makings of explosives were. What follows is the story of two women who are fighting an attraction to each other at the same time they are trying to prevent an international incident. This story is filled with steamy encounters and dangerous moments. Damaris’s mother is overbearing and clueless, while Annette’s mother is more liberal and accepting. This story uses graphic depictions while showcasing Damaris and Annette’s love for each other.

This novella is a sweet sapphic delight! 🫶💗💞Damaris has just been dumped and she is completely unbothered! She is the jilted betrothed of Benjamin from The Fiercest Pirate in Surrey (read it if you haven’t!) and this story picks up from Benjamin’s departure. Damaris and her angry parents are returning to London after that debacle. While her parents lament the failed arrangement, Damaris can’t figure out why she doesn’t care about her failed marriage prospects…or marriage at all really, regardless of how ambitious her parents are for her. She is more interested in figuring out her feelings for her modiste, Annette. Annette, meanwhile, is solidly pining for Damaris. Enter Annette’s cousin who embroils Annette, and by accident, Damaris in a dastardly plot of political sabatoge…and shenanigans ensue! But really, the ladies efforts to save the day are just excuses to spend more time together! There is humor, drama and sweetly sexy moments through out the story. As usual, @anneknightbooks has a way of completely fleshing out the characters and story with few pages. I particularly loved Beecham, the Dunham family’s exasperated coachman. If you are looking for a charming, cozy read with a dash of adventure and spice…this is it! #historicalromance #historicalromancenovel #historicalromancereaders #historicalromancereadersofinstagram #historicalromancebook

Her father a solicitor for the nobility and her mother a social climber, Damaris was raised on the fringes of Society. When the fiancé she barely knew eloped with another, she felt relief instead of heartbreak. A duke’s ball presents a new opportunity – according to her mother – she dreads it. Except for the silver lining... several trips to the modiste.
Annette and her mother fled the French Revolution and made a new life for themselves in London. They left everything behind, but their hard work paid off and now her mother is the foremost French modiste to the ton. Flooded with work for the duke’s upcoming ball, there’s but one client she can’t wait to assist – Damaris.
When a nefarious scheme of Annette’s long-lost cousin threatens the life of the rich and powerful, they join forces to uncover the truth and prevent disaster – discovering far more than they bargained for...
A lovely little novella! It was really sweet and playful watching these two women come together. While Annette has known for a long time she prefers women, all these feelings are new and confusing for Damaris, but she embraces them with eager curiosity.
I loved the way Damaris came out of her shell, proving braver and feistier than I expected, and Annette’s quiet confidence and support was exactly what she needed.
The naughty drawings and D’s critical eye were a fun touch. Add a bit of steam, a mad dash through London and some ballroom drama, and you have yourself an entertaining, intriguing quick read!

A Sweet Sapphic Love Stove Story With A Touch Of Intrigue
A sweet sapphic romance that can be read in about two-three hours. The two main characters are very likable. Annette has been attracted to women for a long time and already has experience, for Damaris it's an awakening that leads to great character development throughout the story. I liked the chemistry and interactions between the two. The suspense part is predictable, but still entertaining.
Unlike her parents, solicitor daughter Damaris Dunham, who grew up sheltered, is not unhappy when her intended jilts her, as she has never been in love and marriage is just a formality she has to endure as a woman. She only has palpitations when she meets the daughter of her modiste.
French émigrée Annette de Morand works as a seamstress in her mother's popular modiste shop and has long been secretly in love with Damaris.
When the two of them accidentally learn of a conspiracy and a planned attack, they join forces to prevent it and become closer in the process...
All in all, a sweet and quick to read sapphic romance with great character development, very likable protagonists, humor, a touch of suspense and a little steam that I am happy to recommend!

Anne Knight is quickly becoming the Queen of novellas in my eyes, after yet another winner. In this fast paced sapphic romp, espionage shares the stage with self-discovery. It's a bite sized read that packs in all the important bits, and leaves tou with a smile on your face.
Annette has a secret crush on Damaris, a sheltered Miss who is at best apathetic towards the opposite sex. In an unlikely turn of events, they find themselves embroiled in spy business, and not in a fun way. Amongst their high stakes shenanigans, they find time to get to know each other better
The yearning in this is so sweet - Annette begins the story believing her feelings will forever be unrequited. When Damaris begins to question her s*xuality and take charge of her future, it had me cheering for these two ladies who deserve more than the fate society believes they should have. The spy business to me felt incidental to the main focus (Annette and Damaris' exploration of their relationship), but is a fun and fast-paced way of driving the plot.
This is a great (and quick) read if you need a fast emotional boost. It's lovely people falling in love, unproblematically, and sometimes that's needed in a genre swimming with traumatised MC's who struggle with communication.
Thank you to the author for the ARC! Releases August 5th

If you're looking for a quick, spicy (high spice to page ratio, as opposed to heat level), sapphic romance, love things like Jane Austen and Bridgerton, you'll like this.
Overall, I'm not a huge fan of mystery novellas, but this one had a lot of things that appealed: Queer heroines with some solid spice factor, historical fiction, espionage, etc.
One thing that I really liked was the social standing of the characters: Neither character was traditional nobility. One was essentially ex-nobility, and her standing impacted the plot, and the other character was from a social climbing common family. This allowed the story to play around the edges of the ton and more common day to day life, and I thought that was a really nice take in a genre that is often very focused on nobility.
The novella thing held it back, I would have loved to see this as a full novel. There was plenty of potential, leaving the plot and relationship building feel rushed. That said, it was an interesting, quick read. It just really could have used more room to breathe. I wanted more from the characters, more from the plot, more nuance to the scheme, but it was well-managed for the very limited page count. I would absolutely read more.

This is a delightful book to pick up when you’re in the mood for a light, engaging read. Given its relatively short length, it’s easy to get through in just a couple of sittings. The story flows smoothly, and the main characters are genuinely likeable, making it easy to get invested in their journey.
The writing style is accessible and well-paced, making it an enjoyable experience from start to finish. That said, I felt that the middle part of the book could have offered a bit more in terms of emotional development between the main characters. Their bond and relationship evolve naturally, but I would have appreciated a deeper exploration of their connection—something that would have added more emotional weight and made the story even more impactful.
Still, it’s a warm, feel-good story that’s perfect for a quick escape.

Anne’s writing is so fresh and she always has a unique plot to her novellas. It was a pleasant surprise to see her write a sapphic couple and I knew she’d do Damaris and Annette justice (nothing like a spicy little epilogue to get you reading quicker!) The way Damaris discovers there can be more to life than having friends who are women and marrying someone just because your parents really insist upon it is very cleverly done. Working as a dressmaker, it is natural for Annette to be very familiar with a multitude of female forms, and Damaris just intrigues her. Opportunities arise for Damaris and Annette to talk and become friends, but it’s not until a man shows up claiming to be Annette’s cousin from France that the ladies have a chance to do a little sleuthing together.
Although I quickly discerned what the “worst spy” was up to, I nevertheless enjoyed Damaris and Annette’s fun attempts to figure it out themselves. Add to that a naughty illustration shop, a dirty cousin who keeps unusual friends, accidental eavesdropping on an intimate couple, and shhh! we have to be quiet shenanigans and you’ve got a fully packed story under 200 pages. Did I also mention the history aspect is always entertaining? Just check out Holywell Street in London if you don’t believe me. I received an advanced copy from the author, all opinions are my own.

Cute book about two young girls who come from different yet similar backgrounds. They meet and forge a special friendship that is new to the one girl, but not to the other. The one girl is a seamstress and she works on the dresses for the other girl to wear to dances and balls, b/c her mother is trying too marry her off to some Duke or person of great wealth or reputation, of which the daughter has no interest! The girls find they are more similar than different and, in the process, fall into a plot to do damage to the Duke and the country. It is a cute story of awakening, mixed with a tale of mystery and a bit of intrigue. A fun read!

This is the story of Damaris Dunham & Annette de Morand. The story starts where the previous book in this series finishes with Damaris finding she’s not really disappointed that she’s not going to be getting married. Annette has long known that she prefers men to women, and when the two women discover a plot to set off explosives at a ball they are drawn together to stop the plot…..
This is an interesting twist to the story that started in The Fiercest Pirate in Surrey, although it’s not necessary to read that story first. It’s an interesting plot with some well written scenes, and it moves along at a good pace. It’s not the usual style of thing that I’d read, but it’s still worth a look 🐈⬛.

Anne has never disappointed me and I don’t think she ever will. I received an eARC and this is my honest opinion.
What a beautiful story!
Damaris was jilted by the MMC of book 1 in the series. But since this was a society match and she had no feelings for him, she decided to forget what happened and move on with her life. And move of she did! Annette is a catch! And it was refreshing to read of a Sapphic relationship during that time period (around the Napoleonic wars).
The “spy mystery” plot was actually hilarious to read; some people are not meant to be spies are Annette’s cousin is clearly one of those.
Anne Knight is an auto-buy author for me. She has the rare talent of packing a punch in the petite package of a novella one can read in one sitting.
Excellent as always.

This book is a delightful romp back in time to the 1800’s where women were meant to marry a good husband to better the family name. Sod love or feelings or anything important.
Luckily Damaris gets jilted and is free to strike up a ‘friendship’ with the local modiste, Annette, who fancies the dull skirts off Damaris.
But trouble arrives in the shape of Annette’s long lost (but not lost enough) cousin. High jinks abound and it really is a cosy warm read following the ladies as they act very unladylike indeed.
The characters are well fleshed out despite it being a shorter book and the epilogue ties everything up in a neat bow.

A very spicy story about finding your true path. Annette is a modiste who has experience with being attracted to women. Damaris is her client and she is still trying to figure herself out. This is during a time when women loving women is considered pornography.
A very touching and cozy book. The guys in the story were all wastrels and I was here for it!
Thank you to Anne Knight for the copy of this book. Opinions are my own.

I loved this sweet and spicy novella! As someone whose hobby is sewing, I'm trash for a seamstress/modiste heroine. I loved seeing Damaris (the non-seamstress one) come to terms with her feelings for Annette and claim her HEA. If you need more incentive to read this, you should be aware it contains a covert hookup at a ball (featuring unintentional voyeurism), all while the heroines are trying to foil a bomb threat. :o We love women who can multitask!

Sometimes, a broken engagement is a tragedy. Other times, it allows you to spend more time with your modiste, join her in investigating her feckless cousin, and foil a plot against the Crown.
This is a nice little sapphic historical romance novella complete with a "sneak away from the ball" hookup and a rollicking spy plot. It's a fun, fast read and I had a great time reading it.
This objective review is based on a complimentary copy of the novella.
