Good in series

I liked this story, characters fell into place in the storyline nicely. Just the nature of the story made me getting uptight during the progression of uncomfortable situations. The ending was good, I hoped for the outcome but of course it took awhile to get there. It would have been nice if Mr. Peterson and his eventual bride would have taken the fall for the night time scandalous rendezvous for which Mrs. Wellington & the Marquee took the hit for, then saving Mrs.
Wellington’s reputation since they too were meeting secretly but that was not written into the story. Oversight opportunity to bring more good guys & depth by the author I think,

This was fun!

Loved the story! Lots of unexpected twists! Good and lovable characters. It felt like a good story, paced well.

Poor Narrator

I was looking forward to listening to this audiobook because the storyline seemed like something I would really like; however, the narrator I just could not get past the narration. I started the book twice but never got past the third chapter.

Love prevails!

I am enjoying the series and this story did not disappoint. The author does a great job of weaving all the characters together and storylines are captivating. The narrator does a great job too. On to the next!

Enjoyable

I wanted a more realistic regency romance and this was it. Sweet and yes slow majority of the story takes place over the long period of a house party.
