[4.5]

This was a sweet and steamy historical romance that in terms of quality is par for the course for Cat Sebastian. The class tension was excellently done, as was the disability rep (gold standard honestly).

My favourite parts are very spoilery so I won't mention them, but let's just say that last section was chef's kiss. I wish Jack's backstory had been expanded a bit, and their family relationships are not as well developed as I've come to expect from Cat (though this is an older work).

I feel the mystery elements were quite well done. The B plot of them trying to uncover a blackmail scheme was easier to follow than similar storylines in say Queer Principles of Kitt Webb, and therefore more enjoyable.

If you've read a Cat Sebastian novel and loved it, or just want to give one a try, I highly recommend this one!
