Sadly—no.
A gorgeous cover, an intriguing first half-page, and the lure of a paranormal Regency had me buying this. But the plot is overly contrived and relies on two sensible people both behaving illogically: I suspended disbelief most unwillingly. (Also—vampires, meh—so many ethical mudstains.)
The pacing is a problem in such a short piece (17.5k words), with the first two thirds effectively one long conversation between MCs, and the last part straying into "with one bound he was free" territory.
I've read other Burgis books I thought were more coherent and cohesive.
