3.5 of 5 starsI was intrigued when I read the blurb and was looking forward to reading the book. The story follows Lola, a tightrope walker, and Theodore, an earl which sets them at odds to begin with. Feelings, however soon develop between these two as they try to unravel the murder of Theodore's friend. What started out as a collaboration soon turned romantic, but I would have loved it if these two had more honest dialogue between them. As the story continues, the author reveals Lola's sordid past when she crosses a duke for his cruelty to a prized stallion. It was a noble thing to do to rescue the horse, even though it meant she had to run away after confessing to releasing the horse because of the duke's cruelty.
I had figured out who the villain was early on and pretty much knew what would happen to the duke in order for Lola and Theodore to have their HEA. It seemed all too predictable, and I wished the author had put more thought into dealing with the duke. This is why I only gave the book 3.5 stars.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
