I've had this on pre-order since last May. So glad I finally have it! So many things to think about.

Enjoying. Throughly immersed.

So engrossing!

Finished. Review coming in October. Spoiler: I loved it.

I don't read much paranormal, so this feels original to me. Dark, though.

Didn't read the first one, so I'm going slowly and carefully.

Absolutely fascinating.

Not 100% certain what is going on, but this is compulsively readable.

Not 100% certain what is going on, but this is compulsively readable. Putting my child in front of Lion King so I can read.

Looooove masked themes and motifs. Looooove historicals set in gambling hells. Love the stakes and the characters. So happy to be reading this at long last! *happy sigh*

The bones and idea of the story are basically good. I think if it were written today, it'd have been nuanced and finessed more, especially with the characters. Still glad I'm reading it.

This is from 1997. (!) So interesting to see what has changed in historical romance and what has stayed the same. Hero was one of those wounded-by-a-woman-and-can
-never-trust-again types. Not too over the top with him, but still there. And on page 62 they still haven't met yet! I'm impatient for that to happen. ;)

Incredibly, breathtakingly good. This writer has very serious talent.

This book!!! <3 x 100,000^10,000

So much at stake! My goodness I love this book. How am I supposed to waste time with such things as sleep? I can't read and sleep at the same time.

Impatient for the pieces to come together to see if I'm right.

So good! Another I'm sorry I didn't get to sooner! So much emotion and drama!

The banter between the hero and his valet is great!

I. LOVE. THIS. HEROINE.

"From the moment she'd stepped off the ferry onto Dunregan she'd felt a change was afoot. She cared for Brodie and she was going to show it. If it backfired then so be it. She'd just have to learn to cope with a whole new level of heartbreak."

Picked this up completely at random just to try something new. Not the biggest reader of contemporary romance because I'm all about the historical...and I'm not much into small down either...BUT OH MY GOODNESS I AM ENJOYING THIS SO MUCH!!! Don't want to put it down!!!

Enjoying so much. Don't love everything about it--the romance and some of the character changes happen a little too quickly, but I'm still so glad I finally picked this up and highly recommend it to all historical lovers, especially those who want to take a mini-break from Victorian and Regency. Emphasis on mini-break, because Regency is the best. ;)

Absolutely loving this. I'm an oldest child, so I totally get Norma Rose 100% (control, control, control). The world building is incredible. Love the era. So fun and engrossing!!!

Very enjoyable.

Enjoying this so far!

Love when the heroine thinks to herself, "If she didn't love him so much, she would shoot him."

So funny! With actual SPREADSHEET HUMOR!

"Graphs were a big weakness of Riley's. Right up there with craft beer and Brazilian swimsuit models."

"And he's got a stick so far up his ass that he probably sneezes wood shavings."

"Summer raised both hands. 'Stop. We're not going to revisit everyone who scored a nineteen or above on the official score sheet.' ... 'I can pull up the Google sheet with all the entries...'"

Voice is crap. Sounds like it was written in 1985 by a 55 year old man trying too hard and, while somehow respecting the POV character tremendously (not the side characters at all), misses the mark by a light year.

This was published in 2015 and they're calling people? One naval piercing doesn't do anything. Not that interested in the modern characters, but totally obsessed with the original cast from FLOWERS.

Enjoying immensely.
