He had the uncomfortable sense that this man saw everything Kit wished to conceal.
Kit, a former highwayman who now spends his days running his coffeehouse, and Percy, a handsome aristocrat, team up to pull off a daring thievery to try and save Percy and his friend from complete ruin but end up losing their hearts to one another along the way. I enjoyed this story, Kit and Percy were interesting characters who came from very different worlds. They probably shouldn’t have worked but ended up being quite sweet together. There was a mutual attraction from the start but they didn’t exactly like one another at first. It was a slow burn but as time went on, they became so soft for each other and it was very cute.
“I don’t know how not to think about you. I don’t know how to stop, and I don’t want to.”
Percy had perhaps the biggest journey throughout the story. He came from a wealthy family and was accustomed to a certain lifestyle. With the future of that lifestyle in jeopardy, he’s forced to look hard at his life and make a lot of changes. Kit was a good person to help him with that because the life Kit came from couldn’t have been further from Percy’s aristocratic upbringing. The differences in their class and Kit’s connection to Percy’s family added some interesting wrinkles to their relationship.
Whatever they had between them, for all its confusion, was good, and it was theirs, and they should take it. Fuck anything that said otherwise.
I mostly guessed what the twist was near the end but it was still fun seeing them plan the heist and seeing how it all played out. There were a lot of good secondary characters that helped round out this story. Percy and Kit’s story was basically wrapped up in this book but there is definitely more to the story in the second book. I’ll have to put it on my TBR to see what happens next!
“You think that being with me is worth the risk?”
Kit heard the uncertainty in the other man’s voice, and it broke his heart. “You’re worth any price I could pay.”
