Review by: K. Joan Harrison
Set in Regency-era England, this light-hearted romance follows Eliza Balfour as she navigates family loyalty, duty, and her own sense of self. With both city and country estates as backdrop, the witty dialogue and intriguing liaisons unfold while keeping the reader engaged. Will Eliza rekindle her relationship with the beau her family forced her to abandon for an older man (and title)? Can Eliza stay true to herself, while bound by a morality clause on her inheritance? How will this be complicated by her relationship with a notorious (and dashing) poet? Peppered with a variety of delightful characters and period-specific vocabulary, this book is sure to please fans of historical fiction.
Audiobook reviewed (expertly narrated by Imogen Church).
