I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.
This is one sweet, suspenseful, smoldering book.
Kit Webb used to be a highwayman, but tragic circumstances have left him running a coffee shop. Feeling unfulfilled and melancholy, he feels stuck in a rut, until one day Lord Holland (Percy) enters his shop with a job offer. Percy wants to rob his father, the Duke, of a special book, to protect himself and a childhood friend. Refusing the job, Kit nevertheless agrees to train Percy so he can pull off the job himself. As the two men grow closer, the deadline for the robbery grows nearer, and everything they want from life may be pulled from their grasp.
Sebastian has a great writing style that really makes the characters come alive, and the chemistry between Kit and Percy is palpable from the start. I was really rooting for them, their romance, and the success of their plan. They are both complex characters who learn from each other and are able to grow and change together. There are a lot of interesting side characters as well who all have an important part to play.
There are some great humorous moments, and some really suspenseful ones as well. The story is fast paced and kept me consistently engaged and invested. This was a book I really enjoyed reading.
