I'll be upfront - I love Julia Quinn. I'm an AVID Julia Quinn reader. Her books, for the most part, are my comfort reading. I have probably read Romancing Mr. Bridgerton upwards of 30 times. Love it. So I was predisposed to like this.
But! Like it I did. Love it, actually. The hero was broken in a really understandable, believable way, and I loved that the heroine got it and wanted to fix it without being idiotic. Quinn's heroines are always so delightfully sensible, and Miss Cheever was no different. She was also, like other Quinn heroines I've loved before, kind of awesomely vindictive. Maybe that's a personal fault I have in myself, but I love a vindictive heroine.
My only problem with the book? The title. I think Quinn was scraping the bottom of the barrel with that one, just a little.
