Pacing issues and forced obstacles beleaguer the second half of the book, but there’s enough heart and heat to sustain the reader's interest. The way they each find confidence because of their connection is moving, while their physical chemistry is sizzling. Alice and Kit both have self-esteem issues stemming from their relationships with their parents, but it affects them differently. The 'kissing lessons' trope is carried off excellently here because it’s paired with rich, developed characters. The two are surprised by their delight in each other and start to cherish their time together, but with differing goals, they are set to go their separate ways unless they can reevaluate their priorities. Kit aspires to open a supper club in New York City and can use Alice’s detailed knowledge of recipes from a famous chef who used to work for her family. While attending a party spanning several days, she enlists the charming Kit to teach her how to seduce a man.

She wants to find someone who cares for her, not her sizable dowry. Alice yearns to get out from under the thumb of her controlling, cruel mother, but she doesn’t want to marry just anyone. In this installment, the focus shifts to heiress Alice Lusk and scoundrel Kit Ward. Shupe returns not just to the Gilded Age, but to the specific house party in Newport featured in The Heiress Hunt (2021), the first book in the Fifth Avenue Rebels series. A mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge-seduction lessons for recipes-turns into passion, friendship, and love.
