What a lovely little post-series short story this is. A free download for subscribers to her newsletter, this is just a delightful epilogue of sorts to the Society of Gentlemen books. One of my favorite aspects of it is that it's told via letters and newspaper postings interwoven with straightforward prose, which really made me appreciate again how strong her voices are - there's a specificity to all of her characters' voices that is especially wonderful in historical romance.
The story focuses on all four of the main couples to some extent, but the relationship that really gets the chance to shine in my opinion is Silas and Dom. I love the future that she's created for them, and I loved how the scene we get with them (along with bits of correspondence between the two of them and other characters) furthers our understanding of who they are and how they work together, while also being insanely hot. It made me want to go back and reread the entire series again, starting with the short story that kicks it all off. Hers is a newsletter well worth subscribing for, no question.
Grade: A
