I went into this one with zero knowledge or expectations other than it was a historical romance.

If you’re looking for Bridgerton the tv show then know this isn’t that. There’s no steam, the romance is a very slow build up, and it can be a bit of a let down if your expecting something else.

All that said I loved it! It’s a very character driven story and I happened to love the characters! Honestly this would make for an excellent Downton Abbey type show where we get all the upstairs/downstairs action etc. There are so many characters I want more of!! Hainsley, the maid, Archie, Amelia, etc. all people I need more info and story from!! While I love an excellent romance plot driven HR, I fell in love with these characters and their world. I’ll take more ASAP please!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my eARC in exchange for my honest review.
