The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting

This is somewhere between four and five stars for me. I really like the overall structure of the book. Both main characters believe that kindness and love can't be real, and they prove each other wrong. That's a great romance plot! I also love several of the book's relationships: Robin and Hart, Robin and Marianne, and Robin and Alice. We don't see as much of Hart and James together, or Hart and Lady Wintour, but I enjoyed both of those too.

However, Robin and Hart spend most of their time together discussing their relationship and not really having that relationship. The sex scenes were good, but I wanted more domesticity and cuteness between them. I felt those things were happening off-page, for the most part. I also missed seeing Marianne and Alice forming a friendship. We heard about them being friends but didn't see much of them together.

Maybe my opinion will change when I listen to the audiobook. I did do a lot of highlighting, and I absolutely love the way that Robin brings Hart's emotions out, and shows him he's worthy of love. Overall this is a good read and I enjoyed it a lot, but not quite as much as I usually enjoy KJC's books.
