Looking forward to Dom’s story in book 3, A Rogue’s Rules for Seduction. Tabitha’s intellectual friend group is also populated by POCs and a lesbian couple. On the upside, steamy scenes have real sizzle (whew!), and I enjoyed the allusions/parallels to current institutions dominated by white men. I mean, who wouldn’t want that? But as much as I loved all the adorable, thoughtful, sexy ways Finn went out of his way to make a marriage of convenience not just palatable, but actually totally satisfying for our bluestocking heroine, I left the story going, but what about Finn’s dreams and ambitions?! He’s barely viewed as a worthy spare in “heir and a spare!”Īnd I know, I know, how many stories are “behind every great man is a great woman (who carried a lot of water while the guy got the glory).” Why shouldn’t the roles be reversed? I agree, but also, more equal time!! We know Finn’s dream, so….? Finn, inveterate gambler and big time cinnamon roll, really only exists to make Tabitha’s dream to join the Sterling Society come true.
