I was fortunate enough to read an advanced copy of this book. What a lovely ending to this story. As with the first book, this richly layered historical romance is beautifully written. The dynamic between Casper, Lisa, and Jonathan is both tender and tempestuous, pulling readers into an emotional whirlwind. Their happy ending is hard earned. The historical backdrop adds depth and richness to their story, with class divides, societal expectations, and a vivid setting. It's a great read for anybody who likes historical romance or LGBTQIA+ romance.

First and foremost thank you to the author for the Arc. It was well worth the wait for part two. I couldn't wait to dive back into the lives of our three leads. The story was well written and had some amazing twists and turns that I didn't see coming. While some spicy scenes weren't for me I truly appreciated the love story and historical fiction. I found the end fitting for all and this is a great read for anyone interested in history, romance and lgbqtia+
