I have been slightly disappointed with a couple of sapphic romances in fantasy I've read this year, so when I decided to pick up a f/f historical romance, I thought why not try a known author and that's how I ended up with this one. And it was exactly what I was expecting.

This is a novella on the shorter side, so I knew not to expect too much. But it was such a fun and sweet romance that I was delighted. A story of how a disowned gentlewoman and a lady's maid/ former thief fall in love, it has its sexy moments, as well as some very interesting scenes of the women deciding to take charge of their own lives. Ofcourse it's more exciting when it comes with a little side of douchebag men being shown their place, and the women realizing their worth doesn't depend on others; and they are allowed to have their own desires and wants.

I loved the interactions between Molly and Alice, the slight banter was just what this story required. It took me a while to realize that Molly is a character I had already met in the first book of the series and it was nice to see her get her own book. And I was delighted to see a cameo of Jack as well. Mrs. Wraxhall was also excellent female character here, so supportive of all the women in her household.

Overall, this was very enjoyable and I would definitely recommend if you would like to read a lovely sapphic histrom. It maybe on the shorter side, but it made me feel very happy but also wish it was longer. It also works well as a standalone, so you wouldn't have to read the original trilogy to pick this one up.
