I loved this book!

The book opens with Rob blackmailing Marian in letter format because her husband is actually legally married to someone else, leaving her marriage (and her best friend Percy's inheritance) in peril.  

Things I loved:
-Grumpy f/sunshine m!
-It gave me fluttery feelings
-All the sex is

non-penetrative

but it doesn't feel any less sexy and lovely, indeed I thought it was more sexy and lovely to have actual conversations about what kind of sex to have!
-The consent-seeking is so completely explicit and clear and non-awkward
-I adore characters that accidentally rescue animals
-Lovely to see Percy and Kit again
-The characters feel real- both have flaws

like Rob's claustrophobia and Marian's irritation about the market and both of their traumas

- but they also have amazing competences like Marian's snarky competence and Rob's impressive capacity for fondness.
-The letters! They're lovely and convincing and lovely.
-Found family

Unlike many romance series (including most of Cat Sebastian's others), you would really want to read The Queer Principles of Kit Webb first before reading this- they take place in overlapping timelines and this would completely spoil Kit Webb's twists and probably make less sense without it.

Thanks for NetGalley and the publishers for giving me an eARC in return for an honest review!
