I'd been "warned" about Yarros' brand of story telling and was expecting something truly gut-wrenching.

I've not read any Penelope Douglas before but I know the authors name so I think I might have to check that out. It sounds like a good book and I am all about the slowburn romance. And I read a Rebecca Yarros book ages ago and Have basically had the author on my radar ever since to try another book from her and Great and Precious Things sounds like the perfect book to try.
