She had me at “gothic novelist” and “lonely hearts columnist.” This is wonderful. I love it when Charles just unleashes her id.
Note: I’m including the epilogue Wanted, an Author, in which Corvin from Band Sinister makes a cameo and Theo’s gay gothic erotica novel Jonathan: or The Struggles of Virtue is at the top of my list for books-within-a-book that I most need to read.
(At least Zenda gives us the henchmen HEA, and Jonathan shows up again in A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel.)
