A sweet, steamy, and thrilling romance, Mistress of Merrivale was a fantastic read! I really liked this book. From the thrilling mystery, to the lovely romance, this book was wonderful.Jocelyn was a lovely heroine. She was very loyal to those she cared about and refused to be ashamed of the choices she made to take care of herself and her mother. I really liked her. She was a great character.Leo was also amazing. Despite what people thought of him, he was very sweet and very protective of those he loved. He was wonderful and I adored him.The romance was both sweet and hot. Jocelyn and Leo were lovely together. However, my only issue with them was that they were quick to be distrustful of each other, though neither of them had a reason to be. It was fine the first couple of times, when they were still getting to know each other, but it eventually became frustrating. But, I still thought they were a perfect match, once they put their suspicions aside. And, the chemistry between them was definitely hot. It was sizzling from the moment they met and it definitely added some steaminess.The plot was fast paced and I was hooked the entire way through. The mystery of the murderer was well done. I was totally surprised by who it turned out to be. I suspected the person briefly, but it was still a shock to find out how insane the killer was. I really enjoyed the story and the ending was lovely.Mistress of Merrivale was a fantastic historical romance. I really liked this book. From the sweet and hot romance, to the thrilling mystery, this book was wonderful. Romance lovers, this is a book you'll want to read.*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review
