Despite the increasing presumption of Hathor (pronounced Ha-ther) as a “title hunter,” her wit and stubbornness still draws the attention of Prince Wilhem ‘August’–which she initially sees as a plight after their disturbing first encounter. It started off slow, but Hathor ultimately became my favorite character–with Wilhelm as her perfect adversary turned lover. I don’t intentionally read interracial romances, so I didn’t realize beforehand that unlike the other books’ suitors…Wilhelm is white (or looks white). However, I will say it didn’t matter as this series’ fictional Regency era is devoid of racism and racial prejudices. This book was a breath of fresh air.
