This was such fun to read! For some reason I don't read much historical fiction but on the basis of this one I really think I should.
I really liked the character Emerald. She was strong and determined - but also easy to like - and I was glad that she wanted to 'save' herself. Arabella was a great character too - as much as I wanted to hate her at times I couldn't quite manage it. And Sarah and Meg proved brilliant additions - and of course I adored Molly the bear!
The romance, I must admit, was very quick to happen. But I imagine that if I were being forced to marry a man as vile as Lord Suckley I too might fall very quickly for someone as nice as a certain Viscount! He's a great character - he comes across as nice and kind but also with an air of intrigue. A perfect match for Emerald and my only complaint would be that I wish he had been in more of it.
There is a good sense of mystery and twists and turns - something happened that I really didn't expect and that certainly grabbed my attention! I really enjoyed it and am now looking forward to reading many more books along the same lines.
