Probably three and a half stars, rounding up because this was just so fun. First of all, the plot of this book is absolutely ridiculous (mostly in a good way), so if you like a lot of realism in your historicals, this may not be for you. I kind of want to do a Stefan from SNL here: this book has everything! Dead noblemen tied to beds, pirate ships, runaway heiresses, debauched auctioneers ... anyway. Just roll with the plot, and you'll have a good time. I loved the MC and her backstory, and I also loved that it wasn't used to create a lot of needless angst or drama - both the main characters were refreshingly angst-free. The supporting cast was a little light, which surprised me, especially since I think this is the first in a series and I was expecting a bit more setup work for the next book. That's not really a complaint, because too much focus on side characters can also be distracting, more like a note. This book is a lot of fun as long as you can suspend your disbelief about most of the plot. I definitely recommend it!
