This is a reread for me and it still makes my heart sigh. The sweetness and kindness and the wonderfully deceptiveness. I wanted to read a true historical romance that seems appropriate of the time that it takes place. PS under most…

A fast read, since it's a novella. But wow! This is the kind of book you have to read twice. And possibly more

in this novella, Balogh rises above her story formula and gives an intriguing example of the British social system

I really liked this book. Set in the 1800s in England, one of my very favourite times to read about. A real twist in the tale.

A very sweet tale with an enchanting plot twist! Not her usual storytelling which was very refreshing.

Transparent plot twist, and retrospective approach is not my favorite.

A light easy read set back in the days of class distinction and strict moral codes but love breaks through the barriers.

Balogh is a master of her genre, and she does not disappoint in this light but lovely story. The book is a short novella, with the storyline being developed within the confines of such a word count, so nothing is done to great detail.…
