Helpful Score: 4
I enjoyed this story about Eliza and Jasper. She's an independent heiress enduring her 6th London season and he is a thief-taker she hires to investigate what she believes to be someone's attempts to force her into marriage.
While the premise of the story proves to be a little far fetched, it was the writing itself that I sunk into and didn't want to leave. The author manages to create an atmosphere of sensuality between the two main characters that is addictive. I loved the interaction between the two of them! He is brusque and Eliza struggles a bit to adjust to the less flowery, gentleman-like behavior he exhibits. It rang very true for me.
The only thing that took me out of the story at times was her overuse of a couple words, but beyond that it was a real pleasure.
