I must admit I prefer historical romances which have a little levity in their story. I’ve now read two books by Janna MacGregor and I realize that she writes very dramatic books without much by way of humor. That’s fine and the story progresses well; however, as I said, I like a little fun thrown in.
In this story, Lady Emma Cavensham is determined to bring justice to the husband of her best friend (Lena), the man Emma feels is responsible for her friends death. Nicholas St. Mauer, a family friend, decides to keep Emma from crossing too far over the boundaries of societal rules. When Emma becomes the brunt of gossip (due in part from his assistance among other things), Nick is there to help her, both in her cause and in salvaging her reputation.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
