This was definitely an enjoyable read. I have read about a heroines with physical disabilities but I have never read about a heroine with this kind of disability before and I really liked the way the author handled it. Alec was just so sweet about the whole thing.I have a few complaints about thi...
Not horrible, but a little longer than necessary (the pacing felt slow in too many places), and the mystery wasn't that mysterious (the accomplice's identity was obvious fairly early in the story). I'll give the author a second chance because I'm curious who the real villain is.ETA: I've read the...

Miss Ophelia Dantry demanded later that afternoon when Leonora divulged the news of her engagement to her two closest friends. “Why on earth would you agree to such a thing, Leonora? You have so much autonomy now without being bothered with the burden of a husband.” “Not everyone is as opposed to...
There was no sign of the man in the back garden, and when she awoke the next morning, she was refreshed and ready to start the day.

Unfortunately, she encountered someone far worse: Amelia Snowe. As she was already over the threshold, it was too late for Maddie to leave when she saw the icy beauty. Besides, she didn’t wish to give Amelia the satisfaction of knowing her presence had rattled her. “Why, look who it is,” Amelia s...
They had hoped to slip back in through the French doors of the drawing room without being seen, but that hope was dashed as soon as they realized that the entire party was gathered there. “There you are!” Harriet hurried toward them as soon as they stepped inside, her bright eyes not missing thei...
Though Lucien still wished both Winnie’s father and uncle to the devil, he understood why she was so reluctant to enter into marriage at all.
