Customer Reviews

Loving this series

this one is almost at the end of the series and it is just lovely to see Miss Gwen have her own story - complete with an interview at the end of the book! Her back story is a bit of a surprise, but well written and it certainly rounds her out as a character and explains why she is so gruff. These books are historical romance with absolutely no icky bits which is good, just well rounded characters with wit and charm, complete with flaws and misshapen adventure. For anyone who loves a light-hearted romp of a yarn that is very quick to read.
