A delightful sapphic Regency romance! Loretta is a perfect society lady hiding anything authentic about herself (her intellect and interest in books), who is taken by the sister of the Duke courting her. Charlotte--who already knows she's gay, unlike Loretta--is a bit of a ruffian and a secret painter. I loved the glimpses of a secret queer underground! I wanted a little more depth in the secondary characters & their relationships with the MCs.
