Wow! Reading this book was an amazing experience. It's a fantastic book, with a lot of depth, and I'm sure I'll be rereading it many, many times. I'm so happy that a book like this even exists.

It seems like a lot of the other reviewers here found the language off-putting. I loved the narration style and thought it was a lot of fun, but English is my native language and I've been devouring British historicals lately, which gave me a pretty good handle on things. But I still googled a decent amount of words, and I can definitely see that the style wouldn't be for everyone.

Piccadilly was absolutely lovable, but I enjoyed all the characters, even Milord, but especially Byron Kae. The plot and world-building were both top-notch. The sex scenes were long and extraordinarily hot, yet I wouldn't classify this novel as erotic romance. To me, it's primarily an adventure story.

Finally, while there was a lot of humor in this book, I have to take a moment to recognize this hilarious reference, which made me laugh out loud for a solid ten minutes:

“Many harpoons,” called out Miss Grey. “Handle them.”

Yeah. (video has NSFW language).
