It's not bad, especially the second
part and I liked the epilogue, however the first half of the story is
not exactly amazing, not boring but neither captivating.
This is my second romance by Julie Anne
Long, so I can't say things like “I expected more” etc.; what I
can affirm for certain is that I truly enjoyed What I did for a duke,
this one a bit less.
The characters are good but while I
liked Jonathan from the beginning, it took a bit longer to appreciate
Thomasina in the same way.
Jonathan Redmond is young, beautiful
and willing to express his worth, especially in the eyes of a father
who, on the contrary, is skeptical about his talent and he doesn't make
a mystery out of that when his son comes to him with an original
business proposition about a new process for colour printing. But
Jonathan doesn't give up and decides to turn to the Duke of Greyfolk
and it's because of that that he meets, in a louche circumstance, the
well-known, charming and cherished Thomasina de Ballestros.
