the first half of this book really had me going with the romance, i loved the build up of the relationship between daphne and the duke and their interractions but from the garden scene on it became such a wild ride.
i heard someone describe it as a train wreck you can’t look away from and that is quite exactly what it was for me

i had kind of a hard time keeping up with the book and the characters after the rape scene, i found daphne and simon likeable as a duo before but after this it was hard to root for their relationship
