This one hit different. I love Lizzie and Ben so much. The environment of this book also felt so much more real than the previous book in this series. While Mina was often shuffled off into her parlor or the kitchen, Lizzie was in the midst of the activity of the fair and having her own adventures with a fuller cast of supporting characters. 

This is also the only book of this series that has the MC continue his fighting career, and highlights why he’s good at it and has him missing it. I really appreciated that aspects of the story. 

Also Sebastian was everything 🐶

So refreshing to read a historical romance about middle class people! The writing is insanely good, I can't believe this is self-published! Benedict and Lizzie are so sweet and lovey dovey, they communicate well, and there's no unnecessary 3rd act breakup. Heroine doesn't heel to whatever bullshit thrown at her either. There's also a very sweet epilogue💕

Hice más skimming que lectura, pero es q solo quería terminarlo porque no sentía q estuviera tan malo el libro como para dnfearlo después de haber avanzado tanto. Le doy 2 estrellas, y esa 2da estrella se la ganó pq me gustó mucho q el MC fuera tan simp con la MFC, en los últimos caps se puso medio wn si, con esa actitud cavernícola wna q les da a las autoras por reflejar en sus protagonistas masculinos, pero bueh... una ya está acostumbrada a esa tontera.
