I enjoyed this spicy retelling of Anastasia, set against the glittering backdrop of the Gilded Age in Boston and New York. The setting was richly drawn adding a layer of charm to the overall story. One thing I especially appreciated was the inclusion of real historical figures. Lotta Crabtree was a standout, and it was cool to see her woven into the narrative. Josie as the FMC was fantastic with her quirky and determined attitude, and guided by a strong moral compass. She always wanted to do the right thing and that made it easy to root for her. Leo dashes into her life and shakes everything up. The tension and yearning between the two of them was chef's kiss! If you're looking for a historical romance retelling with spice from Chapter 2, a morally gray MMC, and a little bit of mystery, then this might be it for you! Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing an ARC for my honest review.
