This was a cute one. Similar to the other Holton book I read (The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels), it’s a Victorian comedy of manners combined with a fun romance. (Mostly but not entirely “sweet” – there’s a lot of innuendo and a very mildly spicy scene toward the end.) I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as Wisteria Society – I found that the romance pretty much entirely took over in the middle of the book, pushing aside the external plot in favour of the many, many times there was “only one bed” and other such tropes. That said, it was a fun book that didn’t take itself at all seriously, and I enjoyed it. I might even read the sequel at some point.
