This was not my favourite historical romance romp, but I still enjoyed my time with it.
The characters were likeable enough and the romance was cute but the mystery felt a bit too contrived to be comfortable. And the fact that the whole Lydia-Davis confrontation was not elaborated upon at all outside of its impact as a major conflict coming to a head was genuinely disappointing for me. Davis in general was a bit of a disappointment for me and the lack of fluidity in the pace of the novel at times was jarring.
So yeah, not sure I’ll be continuing with this series but I also wouldn’t turn anyone away from it as long you’re okay with the knowledge that this of not 5-star material.
