Three stars: the end of this book is really overstuffed with A LOT; Georgiana has to ditch her fiancée, receive several info dumps about how dudes are keeping information from her bc she‘s a “lady”, get with Rob, deal with her decidedly awful brother, AND foil the slave trade (which, yes foil slave trade=good)
Four stars: an amnesia plot that doesn‘t have consent issues and doesn‘t revolve around “punishing” the person who has lost their memory

balletbookworm I do love Caro‘s writing but I missed the two previous books in this series and so I think there was a bit of shorthand with the Vega Club/characters I was missing in the reading. So a fun read but you might want to catch up with the series. 5y

What a wonderful story! I think it‘s my favorite of this series thus far!! While it‘s a solidly good story (a bit far fetched in spots), it‘s the lovable characters who really shine here. Georgiana has a lesson about being quick to judgment about Rob, while Rob, a notorious rogue, becomes decidedly more approachable after a head injury leaves him with amnesia. But these two together are just so fun and bring out the best in each other. ❤️ 4.5/5⭐️

Up next for me is the third book in the Wagers of Sin series. And this cover is absolutely gorgeous. 💜 Out 9/24
