I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This read was incredibly fun!

Priscilla Livingston is an awkward situation. She is looking for for a husband that will be too preoccupied with their hobbies to notice her social justice activities. Unfortunately (or rather very fortunately) one of her suitors is the handsome Edmund Hawkins. But he's off limits - because if he gets too close her secret will be in danger of being revealed... she's his informant who he only knows as Lord P.

The banter between Priscilla and Edmund is electric. They are both constantly in a tug and pull relationship. Though Priscilla tries to make him not like her it backfires as it reveals how much of a hilarious and charming person she is. And Edmund... he is caring and kind while also being so protective and its wonderful!

The author also really has a way with words. Within the first chapter alone I felt myself falling into the world. Clarke's writing style gives just enough description but leaves an opening for your own imagination. I also know I already mentioned it... but the banter. Clarke writes wonderful three dimensional characters that work off each other effortlessly.

This book was honestly a treat and I am very excited to read more by this author.
