One of my favorite Kleypas books ever. Gabriel is so close to being too perfect, but he keeps just enough wickedness. Pandora is a charming heroine. There is some compelling real history here about feminism at its roots and the terrible state of women's legal rights in the 19th century, and some silly trivia that made me laugh. (Who knew "katzenjammer" meant "hangover" in old German slang?!) Also, for those who loved Devil in Winter we get to check in about 30 years later on one of my favorite couples! Delightful.

I like that this one was a little bit more of a slower burn compared to the last book. I also really enjoyed the dynamic of this couple. Pandora is a really fun eccentric FMC.

I liked the characters a lot! But introducing a huge new plot point with only 20% of the novel to go, , is just absurd pacing. It annoyed me so much I still think about it a year after reading this book!

I think this was my least favorite of the series. Pandora oftentimes feels too immature and it doesn’t track when she has these really mature conversations about women’s rights. But then again, maybe that’s the point? At times, I really liked her, but for most of the book, I felt like she was an underdeveloped character.
There are things I loved about this book and other things I did not. Gabriel was a 10/10 but I never felt like Pandoras feelings for him were anything near love until the very end. She seemed to exist around him vs with him.

Amo a las Wallflowers apareciendo por ahí y Pandora súper excéntrica y muy fuera de época, se me hizo una historia dulce y con acción, no sé si es lo que esperaba pero igual vale la pena, me divertí
