What I liked- the chemistry between the two main characters is intense. The erotic scenes were totally hot. Plus, the MMC wanted to help the FMC live her best and most fulfilling life.
What I didn’t- the title of the book is… unfortunate at best. It sounds like cheap Victorian porn. I almost didn’t choose to read it, but I really like the author’s work.
Odd thing- most of the women are named after flowers. I’m sure this is deliberate on the author’s part, but it seems unlikely that several different women from different families have a flower name and happen to become friends.
Verdict- recommended. If you haven’t yet read books by this author, you’re in for a treat. I suggest that you read King of Pain and Petals first to get the most from this book.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
