I adored this! The premise, the 'stakes' - this was exactly what I wanted out of a historical romance!
The story follows Evelyn, a young orphaned lady who is tasked with finding a wealthy husband to support her and her sisters, and Ahmad, a biracial dressmaker setting his sights on expanding his business. Together they
This story clearly had a lot of care put into it, especially with the historical accuracies! Very accurate to the time-period and really helps you feel like you are there with our ladies.
This is a closed-door romance, so no spicy scenes, but the tension between our two really adds to the story, and I honestly prefer historical romances like this. If you like the slow burn romances of the likes of Jane Austen, then give this one a try!
Cannot wait to read the next one!
