I really appreciate lack of surprise children ending. I really enjoyed the story and the characters, I would have preferred a bit more past interactions portrayed in the book, maybe excerpts from their travels, it would have made it more believable.

I good book, but I have one big complaint. Honestly, I feel like this plot is becoming overdone. It's typical, something becomes a big hit and everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Bridgerton was an immediate success, so that type of story will sell, thus, several of the new historic romances that I have read recently have incorporated that theme. I think I am done with historic romance for a bit, at least the new releases. Don't get me wrong, this was a well written, enjoyable book, but I am bored with the theme.

The beginning and end were so slow but I really enjoyed the middle.

Another great Gilded Age romance from Harper St George! This was deeply romantic in a way that I’ve come to expect and appreciate from this author. The Crenshaw parents remain horrible despite an attempted turnaround in the epilogue. But thankfully their grown children turned out wonderful. Speaking of epilogues…slight spoiler here…I am so very relieved there wasn’t a magic baby. But also CW for infertility because that is something that is a very real part of Helena’s story.
