![]() As someone quite attached to her glasses myself, Rowley’s visual impairment brought him more to life for me. ![]() ![]() Rowley getting dragged into the fray heightens the conflict without sacrificing the romance.Ĭharles is great at portraying “nontraditional” characters in her period romances, and Clem and Rowley are no exception. However, the plots and drama of the noble class are still delightfully intrusive in this tale, and Clem’s relationship to the family makes his involvement all the more interesting. So many romances set in this location and time period involved the nobility that genuine connections between characters not as high class are especially intriguing to me. Together, things are made all the more intricate and interesting. Both aspects of this novel are a joy to read, to the point where I’d have been fine it either halves were the sole focus of the novel. Slow-burn romance and chilling mystery are described in the cover blurb, and it couldn’t be more accurate. I’m so glad that a friend recommended that I check out the Sins of the Cities trilogy next, and I read the first two books in quick succession. Charles is the perfect author for me to binge-read right now. ![]() ![]() Thanks to real-life drama dragging me down, I’m back on a kick where I just want to read about happy endings. ![]()
