Alex has been haunted by the woman from his past with that perfume and once he gets another scent of her, he knows who she is and what she‘s doing. Loved and hated that part. There‘s great passion between hero & heroine even when they‘re arguing. The secondary characters are interesting. I like that Emmy is always one step ahead of Alex and frustrates him to no end. I liked the camaraderie between Alex, Seb, and Benedict (Bow Street Bachelors).

I could not put this novel down. So here I am, exhausted, because I finished it in one read, overnight.

The passion and longing between Rhys and Bella were fantastic. This is one of those -- they belong together, they both want each other and obviously love each other, now let‘s see them figure it out -- romances. Rhys is really such a reformed rake that only has eyes for her.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
