It's fine. The plot is very convoluted and far fetched but the kids are really well written. There is very little romance in this book which would be fine if it wasn't marketed as a romance. The main romance in the book had so much potential but there was no focus on it.

The part of the plot where they acquired the children felt so gross to me. I couldn't help but think it felt wrong.

Historical romance is not always one of my go to comfort genres and I feel this book is a great example of why. The main couple lacked chemistry. If there was any swooning happening, it was over the maid and the stable fella. That couple got "the" kiss of the book.

I knew what I was getting with this book but it still felt even more exploitative than I thought it would be. They were still trying to find a home for these kids way past when it would have been ok to claim them for themselves. The kids were a mess and I got a kick out of them. Stealing nearly everything in the house and hiding it from the butler was making me laugh. They were exactly what this couple needed.

I don't want to knock closed door romances because some people are really into them but this couple could have used the added emotional umph by adding physical intimacy to their story at all.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own.

This book was just so much fun! The children characters weren't stale or stereotyped and the main plot being about a couple already married and rekindling affection while recognizing each other's true natures was a delight.

I'm writing an honest review after reading an advanced reader copy of this story.

While not a bad story I personally had trouble with the characters and their relationship & interactions with each other. Things were cordial but cold. It was 2 people living in the same house & avoiding each other. I supposed this could be a good Ton marriage, since it could have been so much worse. The kids were better and showed more growth than the adults. I'm disappointed and didn't particularly enjoy the ending, except for the Duke, he was grumpy and funny.

I was not sure where this one was headed exactly, and it took some time to really get going. But it was very good once it picked up speed! I was fairly certain how it would end, but I do enjoy the way it was laid out. For an impulse buy at a used book store, I would say this one was an entertaining story!

The entire instigating issue of this book seems completely ridiculous. The conditions of inheriting the house seem so pointless. And besides, wouldn’t Emmeline’s mom have inherited it? It just makes absolutely no sense.

But besides that, I actually found this book to be quite enjoyable. I liked the different perspectives that we got throughout the book including Hannah’s and George’s. I also really liked the staff as secondary characters. Emmie and Will both could have been developed better and the ending was completely predictable, but I found myself charmed at the growing relationship between the Pershing’s and the Fletcher’s.
