A SECOND ⭐️starred review⭐️ for THE CUTTHROAT COUNTESS!

“I love you so much, Hyacinth,” he whispered. “Please don’t break my heart, darling.” He kissed the delicate pink shell of her ear. “Not when you have just put it back together again.”
― Minerva Spencer, Hyacinth

“She snorted but didn’t pull away. “Second, when I think of life without you, I—well, let me just say it does not just make me unhappy—it makes me miserable and hopeless. Do you know how rare it is for two people to get on as we do? Or at least it is rare in my experience. Never before have I wanted to spend both my nights and days with somebody.”
― Minerva Spencer, Hyacinth
