Romansty adventure- very true to Kingfisher's voice- about a knitting knight paladin and a perfumer.

2 POVs, 3rd person past tense, spicy

Two funny, charming people handling some large trauma related symptoms quite literally run into each other and are pretty instantly delighted by each other. It's very cute. They're both equally and differently dorky.

There's also a few murder plots, political intrigue, legal drama, and fantasy goings-ons along the way that remind you Kingfisher's worldbuilding shant be ignored just because you're hardcore on the ship. This book has shit to do, thank you very much.

Sex scenes - I didn't know how Kingfisher would play this, but they're great and straightforward, like most of her writing.

Narrator - Joel Richards pace is a little slower than I'm used to, but he's a great fit for the masc paladins of the Saint of Steel. His delivery on both Steven and Grace's prose got me laughing out loud pretty regularly.
