This was a nice read. I liked Julian, and Claudia to some degree, but I wasn't very invested in them. There were just too many silly misunderstandings and no communication for me to really enjoy this book. The main characters were very hot and cold, which was confusing, and their love-hate relationship felt a bit overdramatized. I liked Claudia's character growth, as I was very annoyed by her for the first half of the book.

The storyline with Sophie was what I enjoyed most about this book. I just had to find out what would happen to her. It's also why I rounded my rating up to 3.5 stars.

Julia London is fast becoming one of my favorite authors! Her stories are complex and well-thought out, her characters complicated and flawed and their relationships full of tension.

Julian is an exceptional brother, taking care of his sisters but more than that, loves them unconditionally. Claudia and the giant chip on her shoulder annoyed me quite a bit and made me dislike her a lot for a big part of the book but she does have her redeeming qualities and manages to make up for her stupidity towards the end of the book.

Sophie's part in the book surprised me, since it's realistic and not romanticized as it could be, making her change from a naive, shallow and insecure little girl to a strong, interesting woman.

I'm looking forward to reading her story, but before that, next comes Arthur's, the last single Rogue of Regent Street.
