I would have loved this book just for the story of Juliana and Cain. She is a bookseller, and has to earn her own living. He was such a lovely beta hero, so supportive and sensitive to women and their feelings. Superficially, he seemed like a rake, but he's actually a man who sincerely loves the company of women and respects their intelligence. What made him beta to my mind, was that when she panicked over their relationship going too far, too fast, he did not pressure her but backed off and let her make the next move. The subplot about his little sister also highlighted his sensitivity.
But in addition to their story, the details about collectible books, the Sotheby book auctions, and the mystery of Juliana's background made this a 5 star read for me. The connection to Juliana's beloved editions of Shakespeare, and the way the mystery was eventually solved via deciphering coded messages was quite cleverly plotted. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the Burgundy Club books.
