A great start! Looking forward to reading the rest of this a lot. Have to say, though, I wish the preview had been long enough to get to something steamy.

This is going to be a compelling and highly entertaining story. Humour, fleshed out and interesting characters, a plot where not everything is what it seems.
I can't wait to read the rest of the story, this sampler was like sampling a small helping but you want it all

I found myself intrigued by this story. I love a good historical queer romance, and this one looks to be especially fun. We have the grumpy bookseller and writer with a tragic past, the charming wealthy husband-to-be who wants to give his bride-to-be a pleasant life free from her mother's criticisms (and a signature on one of his favorite illicit books for his collection), and the sweet and charming bride-to-be who I suspect to have hidden depths.

I was disappointed when I reached the end of the sample - I definitely wanted more and will be looking forward to reading the rest of it.
