Mathematician inherits property that immediately puts her at odds with the judge who's spent the last year thirsting after her.

This is a tough one. One protagonist is the type of woman I want to spend a lot of time reading about (smart, kind, owns being soft, gets upset but stands her ground - total cinnamon roll) and the other - after being introduced as pretty normal in other parts of the series - just fully hates women and the poors. It's a real hot and cold experience.

Interesting plot, romance beats are well paced- it's really just hard to believe this guy wouldn't go full incel. He's got so many red flags. 🤣 [ending]

Including "You're not like other women," and "well now that I have a daughter I support women's education."

He's likeable when he's not monologuing like a member of the Proud Boys who just saw someone knitting something pink. It can be a lot.

On the other hand the plot includes code breaking, mole hunting, and murder attempts. So there's stuff to get interested in.

Sex Scenes - these felt a little weird. The action beats were fine and pretty basic, but there was a lot of "savage warrior Scot" language that felt very fetishizing of someone's heritage in a way that came out of nowhere. I kinda spaced out until it became less "predator" "savage" "brut" "Scottish warrior."

Narrator - Derek Perkins has a solid performance. There's a lot of accent switching in this one- including an American- and he does a good job.
