I did not like this as much as the first book in this series. It is a fun read, but Felicity was a little bit too manipulative and Nigel a little bit too childish for my liking.
Pretty good read! The characters were fun and made me want them to have a happy ending.
A delicious Regency read!! Engaging characters and an entertaining plot line. Nice amount of steam to keep the story popping!
I love a lively historical with all the pomp and circumstance! Really enjoyable read!

A fun series.
Really funny and touching! I liked this book by Victoria Alexander a lot. Made me laugh and made me cry! That's a very good thing. Nigel and Felicity are somewhat unique and very interesting. Good book.
Another wonderful story in the Last Man Standing series, with a family of characters that you come to care for. The romance is a lot of fun. Even though you know where you'll end out, it's a very enjoyable ride.
Better than average romance with clever dialogue.
