Funny, thrilling and so passionate and sweet (not canonically so maybe, but sweet all the same).
Predictably I fell in love with Gideon in the previous novel in the series; and I was quite attracted to Susanna's character as well. Therefore my expectation was high.

Novellas can be quite tricky, that's what I've learnt from my experience with HRs. I've read very few of them which are able to arise in me the emotions a "full" romance can, being shorter, a novella, clearly requires for the author to build up interesting and catching premises in a substantially briefer number of pages; in cases like The Viscount of Vice one, the situation is even more difficult because it opens a series, it's not an interlude, which, in turn, means the reader generally won't already have a general picture of the context and characters, everything starts there.
