3.75 ✨ I forgot the first book’s characters so I was definitely confused and it was hard to follow all the names just by listening to the audio, so I definitely think I would have enjoyed more if I had the physical copy!

Oooooh, I may have found my new "go to" summer reading series. Light in tone, by juicy in plot, this is right up my alley for a summer reading destination.
Countess Harleigh delves into the world of investment banking and gossip columnists, and all the nefarious going-on's that entails. She is still acting as matchmaker for people, but never, ever, EVER suggest that it is her job because, fanning myself while I experience a fit of "the vapors," well-born women don't work!
And things are really steaming up with George Hazelton And by that I mean, there has been a couple kisses and some light petting in a dark hallway. This is not what I would call a "bodice ripper" in any shape of form.... at least not yet!

I really enjoyed the first in this series as an audiobook, but after holding out for the second to come onto my library app for months gave in and snapped it up on a Kindle deal. This second book didn't flow as easily as the first, though I'm not sure if that's the book itself or just a comparison from the excellent audio experience. It was still a fun, easy and quite delightful murder mystery and I'm pretty sure I'll eventually pick up book 3 in the series when it comes out.
