I was expecting a continuation of the trilogy but this is more of a spinoff. That said, it was still phenomenal and you come to love these characters as much as the original quartet (who are still very much present in this book - it was nice to see them again). After completing this series, I really hope Emily Rath dips her toes into the Regency era again. It really was the best of both worlds - you had the spice and excellent characters that Emily creates set in the Regency era which I absolutely adore. So so so good. I've already ordered shelf trophies to go next to my Jacksonville Rays books.

Emily Rath never disappoints on the 'Why Choose?' front! The characters felt so natural and despite the story unfolding over just 3 weeks, the love felt real to me which is tough to pull off.
ARC READER REVIEW
Alcott Hall is the third book in the Seconds Sons series by Emily Rath. It’s is a beautifully written MMF why choose romance.
We’re re-introduced to Madeline and get to revisit the world of Rosalie, James, Burke, and Tom from Beautiful Things and His Grace, the Duke.
**Technically, you don’t have to go back and read those two books, but I highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed **
Madeline is a beautiful soul who doesn’t fit into English society standards. She awkward, socially inept, and doesn’t like strangers touching her, but she is quietly fierce, intelligent, and kicks Burkes butt fencing.
I know a lot of us can identify with this character. I really fell in love with her and her journey to take back her own power and live her life on her own terms. She falls for two amazing men who love each other and her in spite of a society that doesn’t accept the way they want to live.
I absolutely adore this book. Emily Rath has become one of my favorite new indie authors. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good Regency romance that is deliciously spicy.

I thought this was really well done. The characters in the other two books in this series are somewhat insulated from consequences of the world discovering that they are bisexual because of their extreme wealth and status. The stakes felt higher here because although the heroine was a peer, the two men were working class.

Madeline was one of my favorite characters from the original doulogy. And her story did not disappoint! I absolutely loved it. All 545 pages of it. It's also good because I get another MFM romance. It really works for Madeline and the guys. It's not accurate to the regency era, and there's modern language, but I still enjoyed it. It was light and sweet and spicy. Exactly what I needed for being stuck in the house because of this storm.
