I really enjoyed Teddy and Henrik's slow-burn romance. Both of their personalities just worked, and the communication and love Dr. Emily Rath puts into her books did not disappoint here. I also really liked Korro's character and was glad that she wasn't the entire focus of the book. I would have liked a bit more of interaction with Teddy's family since their importance was a main character driver, especially towards the end.

I liked Audacity better, but overall it was a good read. I think this one fell just a bit for me with the MMC and their chemistry. I didn't feel the same chemistry between Bren and Mals as I did with Gabe and Athena. I also felt that the first book had more in depth and meaningful conversations between the two characters and while I get that that doesn't really match the style of the MMC in Duplicity, their relationship felt more surface level and forced. I'll definitely read the next one in the series, though.
