I enjoyed this story. I show more liked the main characters. I also liked Kendrick's mother. She is a hoot. Lillian's mother is a bit of a prude, but she gives her blessing to Lillian. Kendrick's mother is not, and she is glad to give her blessing. I liked how they work together and have fun together. This is hot!

I am looking forward to reading more of Anne Shaw. show less

Romance and intrigue are woven in a way that will keep you turning pages for hours. I loved Jack and Rachel, each with their own priorities, but unable to ignore the sparks that fly between them. They can both be a bit stubborn at times, but I think that just added to their characters. With two different goals, you'll be on the edge of your seat wondering what twist is coming next. A great historical romance with a bit of thrill.

Katherine is outspoken and not looking for a husband. Belmonte is not looking for a wife but is intrigued by her. When caught in a compromising position, Belmonte offers marriage. Katherine will accept if he meets her conditions. Will he?

I enjoyed this story. I liked Katerine and Belmonte. Neither is what is expected. Katherine knows Belmonte carries secrets. Katherine is more open than Belmonte expects a lady of the Ton to be, but he likes it. I like when Katherine gets Belmonte's secrets show more out of him. When Belmonte's past comes to London, Katherine deals with it and hopes Belmonte will choose her. I like that Belmonte learns he can be jealous and puts conditions on Katherine's future Christmas gifts. This is a couple made for each other.

I look forward to more in this series. show less

I enjoyed this book. I liked that the book referenced here is a book from a previous book. I like Ash, Moran, and Birdie.

There is anger when the secrets first come out but when danger appears that will hurt Moran and Birdie, the three do all they can to save each other. I also liked that Ash finally has the courage to choose the right career for himself.
