I really enjoyed the FMC in this book (Felicity) and I also liked the MMC (Devil). I liked the premise - a bad boy and a woman scorned by society. I loved the moments when Felicity got to tell people off and/or dress them down. My main beef is two fold: I didn’t enjoy the complex revenge plot between Devil and his brother, and I thought Devil and Felicity broke up too much. Basically every time they moved their relationship forward, one of them tried to break it off. A third act breakup? Fine. But like… three of them starting at the 50% mark? Stress! Annoyance! Especially when they had a big bad they could have taken on together. The ending was great and I will definitely read more of this series.

 Sarah Maclean knows how to write obsession. As with all of her books, the love story was passionate and all consuming.
My small complaint was the pacing. Introducing Covent Garden was really interesting but at times diverted too much from the story being told in this one book. Since this is the first book in the series, I would have found it more enjoyable and felt less impatient at times if the story of Covent Garden was not such a focal point.
BUT KNOWING WHO THE COUPLE IS IN THE 3RD BOOK!!! I CANT WAIT!
