[Julia · Rating 2 out of 5]

A very clever premise carried out imperfectly. The end of the novel is predictable from the beginning. I was hoping for something a little juicier, at least, concerning someone "mad, bad, and dangerous to know." Also, several historical inaccuracies such as red nail polish and pierced ears were distracting. This novella was an enjoyable light romance, but did not fulfill my hopes.

This was a really cute book! I was really suprised that something that short could be all that good. I enjoyed reading a book about the famous Lord Byron with it's facts and it's fantasy. If you are looking for a short fun read then you should give this book a try.

Delightful romantic light read. Molly is the wife of a coworker. Highly recommend this, very clean romance.
