The book is entertaining and progressive in its narrative, but I also found the writing too corny.

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.

Putting chapter 21 between chapters 20 and 22 was a brilliant mood to build suspense.
This book checked so many boxes for me, I am going to recomend it to all of my friends.

This was my favorite in the series. Rath is so skilled at incorporating previous characters in the series. Loved watching these characters fall in love with each other.
Lady Madeline must marry to inherit. She runs away and goes to her BFF Duchess Rosalie. There she meets sweet vicar Charles Bray and bastard gamekeeper John Warren…

Madeline has been a joy to read about! Regency era often was and is known for very little agency for the women of the time. I loved how Emily wrote this to flip that on its head. She was actively being a participant in securing her own future regardless of her families plans for her. The romance and spice is fantastic but I really love how Emily writes her relationship and interactions between her characters and the growth they go through individually and as romantic partners.
2.5 stars
I could feel the connection between Charles and Warren but, Madeline just felt like filler in there relationship. Also all dragging and indecision if Charles was going to marry Madeline was driving me crazy and I felt so bad for Warren felling like he was always second or third choice.
Trigger Warnings: gaslighting, emotional abuse, abandonment, death of parents mentioned, cancer, homomisia, graphic birth, and blood
