An entertaining historical romance with mayhem, a touch of magic in two rings, and murder most foul. Beautiful descriptions which placed me right in Victorian England. The writing style contains some telling, which I personally enjoy in a historical, it makes it seem more like a fairytale.
My favorite part was definitely the rich cast of characters. All four main ladies (who I think will each have a book?) became good friends as they moved into their debut seasons together and the sisterhood & support was beautiful. This is Marcella's story with a bit of insta-love between her and the hero, Alexander. The teaser for Charlotte's book was at the end and sounds delightful. I can't wait for poor Louisa's book, she's definitely the cinnamon roll of the group and Lord Bradley doesn't know what he's missing. But Emilia may well have the most interesting plot for her book when it appears, she is the boldest character I've read in quite a while.

A True Victorian Romance
This book was such a great read. I enjoyed the story very much. The characters were lovely as well, and I’m definitely invested in them all. I love the pace of the book too, and I also liked the details that the author uses. This is a 5 out of 5 for me.
