This is a great read and I'm glad to see Cat Sebastian trying out a different historical era (post-WWII). I loved the setting of a quiet village in the English countryside and all of the domestic moments. In fact, those cozy scenes aren't just fluff, but are relevant to the romance plot and to Leo's character development: After a lifetime as a spy, he isn't sure if he deserves to have people who care about him. So we're often seeing his baffled reaction to pleasant but ordinary moments.

This may have been my own shortcoming as a reader, but in the end, I wished I'd had a little more time in James's point-of-view. I'm not really sure why he developed feelings for Leo. However, I did understand Leo's perspective and I enjoyed his growth as a person over the course of the story. I also liked the mystery - multiple mysteries, really - and while they kept me guessing, the solutions weren't out of left field.

I'm so glad I read this, and I'm sure I'll listen to the audiobook many times when it comes out. I hope that the series will continue very soon!
