Entertaining. Good sense of variety of story and dynamics for character interactions. 

I disliked the scene where he feeds her the teacup. 

The hiccups and hurdles to HEA were entertaining and not as cliched as usual with romances set in C19 England.

This was a quick and enjoyable read. I liked the characters and their relationships, the plot kept my interest, and I found the writing style to be engaging.

Re-read. The following is my original review: 5⭐️ Utterly romantic. Devon and Kathleen both have big personalities and tons of stubbornness. I loved them together and the way they challenged each other. There were so many amazing characters. I can’t wait to read Helen & Rhys’s story.
