A lovely third book for this series by Emma Orchard. I was introduced to the second book through Netgalley and loved the free flowing writing and modern twists involved in the story. This book is another well written addition and brings back the well known and loved characters from the first two.
I appreciated the modern feminist take, amongst regency chivalry and society. It's refreshing to see characters so open about their desires, especially set in the 1800s and especially for women.
I laughed to see how the chapters were 'numbered' and greatly enjoyed the first half of the book. The second half did get caught up in the old romantic cliche of a misunderstanding forcing the lovers apart unfortunately, and seemed to drag on a little bit before resolving.
All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable read with seamless writing and I can't wait to see if there are more books in this series!
My thanks to Netgalley and the author and publisher for an opportunity to read the book. All opinions expressed are my own.
