4.5 starsThis was such a fun and sweet Historical Romance! Everything that I love about these types of books was present: a well-researched setting, likable characters, love that isn't instantaneous, humor, tension, and a story that flowed and drew me in. Let me get into some specifics...I really enjoyed these characters! Elizabeth is quite stunning. She knows she is, but instead of it being a point for conceit, it is something that bothers her because she feels that men only see her physical beauty and are only interested because of it. She is quite caring and sweet, but showed herself to also be strong and fierce when she needed to be. Colin is fairly high up in English society and has quite a presence. He is also rather jaded and thinks that Elizabeth is trying to take advantage of him when first they meet. However, once he gets to know her more he realizes that she is sincere and possesses all that he would want in a wife. Their friendship develops as the story progresses and their relationship turns into something more, but is destined for failure. There is this annoying friend of Elizabeth's that kept things tense and humorous in parts and then other family members and fiances that also livened things up.I knew that this had to end happily. How could it not? But there were some definite twists and tension that kept me intrigued. I wasn't exactly sure how Colin was going to make it to the end with Elizabeth by his side. The only thing I would have liked changed was, towards the ending when something unfortunate happens, that Elizabeth wouldn't have so easily gotten out of her predicament. I would have liked for it to have been a little bit more of a drawn out, climatic scene.This was a great addition to the Miss Delecourt Series. I loved it and would definitely recommend it to those who enjoy reading clean and sweet Historical Romance set in Regency England! I'm really looking forward to seeing what new characters will be introduced in Heidi Ashworth's next book.Content: CleanSource: From the author, which did not affect my review in any way.
