“I felt so drawn into the world and couldn’t put the book down. I LOVED it!!! If you love Regency romances this is a must-read.”

“The one word which summarises this book is charm. It’s a delightful, gentle read, which the author describes as an homage to Georgette Heyer and it really does work pretty well, so for anyone yearning to find a new Heyer, while there’ll never be anyone quite like her, this book is a very acceptable substitute.”
