RaveLibrary JournalKing describes the burlesque setting vividly and appealingly for readers and makes Liz\'s involvement in burlesque an integral part of her journey. The inevitable misunderstandings spring naturally from King\'s characters (as they typically do in the characters of Jane Austen); it feels unforced ... Readers who enjoy sexy contemporary romance will be charmed by King\'s light, irreverent retelling of Pride and Prejudice, set in the New York City burlesque scene.

PositiveLibrary JournalWith funny, snappy writing and a strong eye for detail, Williams builds a compelling, glamorous Black literary world for the protagonists to inhabit. The book balances a second-chance romance with themes of motherhood, childhood trauma, and life with chronic pain.
