This book was hard for me to rate. The plot interested me so I thought I would give it a whirl but historical romances aren’t my thing. I’ve read a few and while I do enjoy the story for the plot, it isn’t for me in the end which is why I have a hard time rating them. I don’t read enough of them to know if it’s my personal preference or it’s just lacking. I thoroughly enjoyed the blackmail plot. I didn’t enjoy Clarence’s POV, didn’t really see why we needed his perspective. I also didn’t care how one moment it felt like it was from Luke’s, then Daniel’s, then someone else’s. I thought the author was creative in the way the HEA came about but I felt dissatisfied, just a bit. If historical, protocol, regency type books are to your liking, I think you will enjoy this one.
