I guess I’m old fashioned but I loved this old fashioned romance. I’m so glad it’s part of a series. Can’t wait to read the next one.
Light-hearted "proper romance" set in Victorian England. It was pretty predictable, but it was a cute story. You get exactly what you expect.

Updated: *Just re-read for book club, and found it a little harder to read this time - Marianne’s complete cluelessness to Philip’s adoration is just too much! But still a fun read I enjoyed once again. Better writing for this genre than I’ve sometimes found.
Was it a little cheesy and predictable at times? Yes. Still loved it. I'm such a sucker for clean romance. I couldn't put it down. Starting it the day before we moved was not the best idea...I stayed up much too late reading this far into th ...more

This was a perfect summer read: fun, fast, and clean. There is this raging debate on Goodreads about whether this book is like Jane Austen, but seriously who writes like Jane Austen? Very few people. But this book does take place in the era of Jane Austen. So if you are looking for a light, romantic book, I highly recommend this one. I read it in 3 days!
Easy read, regency novel that you can't put down until you finish. This is Donaldson's first book and she did a good job. I'm interested in reading more of her stuff!

Cute, though more than once I wished I could smack the heroine upside the head.
Fun, clean, and a total delight. Loved every page.
I love this book! I read it first back in 2019. It was my first Regency romance but definitely not my last. I'm now addicted to them and have a hard time reading anything else. This is a clean Regency romance...just the way I like it. :-)

I read most of this book in one day, so it was a quick read. The main characters were so charming and likable. They were definitely my favorite thing about this book.
This story was unoriginal, predictable and the character's slightly ridiculous....but somehow I still loved it. It's a quick, fun read.
