Series note: This is book #7 in the Victorian Rebels series and book #1 in the Goode Girls spin off. Much of Carlton Morely's backstory is referenced in earlier books; thus, the books should be read in order.

I love Historical-Romance with a touch of mystery and this series has been a delight. It is also a darker, more realistic take on that time period.

These books are well written and the characters burst from the pages.

I have really liked each book in this series, and I particularly liked some resolution to the childhood
and early adulthood of Inspector Morley. His significant other and how they met was a bit of a twist, but it did work for me.
