⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4.25 out of 5 stars

Micro tropes I’m a sucker for: gambling den, kid from the rookery turned wealthy businessman, closed off hero, and bookish heroine. So this was basically cat nip for me. 

This is a classic for a reason. Like most Kleypas books, it’s well written, the characters feel fully fleshed out, and the hero is swoon worthy. (Cue readers’ Derek Craven obsession) . 

This book is a solid, very-good-read-four stars. Maybe more of a 4.25. 

And yes there is adult breastfeeding 🐄 in the epilogue 😳 

(Also- I don’t think Derek Craven is my favorite of Kleypas’s leading men. I’ll cover my face while people throw tomatoes at me.)
