Having enjoyed the first book, "Artemis," I pre ordered this and had more questions in the end, than answers. There were very sweet moments, but it was far overshadowed by the lack of character development and plot. We meet the grand Duke, Quince, as he comes to Sabrina's house to speak to her brother, Robert, about how he is being blackmailed. He makes her the salacious offer of being his mistress. She wants to defend her honor...this leads to her ingratiating herself into Quince's life and trying to help him find his blackmailer.The problems begin with this book when you aren't convinced the motivation for blackmail is all that bad until 80% into the book. Sabre and Quince are a good H/H and get their HEA, but it was convoluted in how they got there and almost forced at times. Not sure I will read the last book.
