This is the eighth book in The Palace of Rogues series and is about a marriage in trouble. The book is emotional and full of the best kind of angst while still offering the humor Long excels at. Though there are a few things that held it back from being a DIK, I thoroughly enjoyed…

After Alexandra is embroiled in a scandal, she and Magnus agree to live together for the first time in their five years of marriage in order to repair their…
This is the seventh book in the Palace of Rogues series. I so enjoyed being back at the hotel with some of my favorite characters from the previous books. That said, this romance has a significant age gap–the leads have twelve years between them–and that, along with unnecessary third act drama, held it back from…

As another standalone in the Palace…
