I think this is my first read from this author and I quite enjoyed it! From the beginning I was gripped by the story and our heroine Francis. I related to her so much in needing to be the arbiter of her own life! I also find myself stubbornly needing to have all the control!

That said she can be very short sighted and I found her family really unpleasant. Her brother is the worst of the lot and I think we’re supposed to forgive him in the end but meh. I have zero desire to do so. That said there are a lot of sisters (including her twin) and they don’t support her until the end which was an odd choice. Realistic choice considering the time period though. They aren’t clear villains though…

Okay all that out of the way… Evan our hero is delightful and his three little brothers are by far my favorite characters of the entire book! I’d 1 million percent read a spinoff series about them after they grow up!!

Anyways I’ll definitely be picking up more from this author including the first book of this series!

Thank you Entangled, NetGalley, and the author for my advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
