Find this review and more at Lusty Penguin Reviews!Anya Wlyde entertains in her humorous and sweet Regency romance, Seeking Philbert Woodbead, the second book in the Fairweather Sisters series.In order to help her very pregnant stepsister, Penelope Radycliff, Celine Fairweather heads to London to run Penelope’s estate. Little does anyone know that Celine is on a mission of her own, finding her love, Philbert Woodbead, who left his location in code in the poems and letters he sent her. When Lord George Roderick Irvin discovers her search, George blackmails Celine into letting him help her. George has eyes for Celine because she is pretty and complicated. He is fascinated that she pretends to be a rational, proper woman when he believes she is a more spontaneous person. Celine, on the other hand, believes she is in love with Philbert, but she doesn’t see that she is developing strong feelings for George. I was completely captivated watching the charming Celine figure out with whom she is truly in love.. George’s constant butchering of Philbert’s name endeared his character to me because he is teasing Celine. George knows Celine has feelings for him long before she realizes it herself. George and Celine are an engaging couple whose witty banter keeps the pages turning. Their first kiss is heart stirring!Another aspect of this story I thoroughly enjoyed was Penelope and Charles’s antics. Penelope was a fun character in the first book and continues her hilarious and mischievous ways while matching up Celine and George, adding depth to this story.Delightful characters, vivid descriptions, and intriguing plot twists make Seeking Philbert Woodbead an enchanting read that will sweep you away to another time and place and leave you with a smile on your face.I received an eBook copy of the book from the author for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
