This book was lovely, and I enjoyed getting to know these two women so much and seeing them overcome their past relationships/professional issues. I loved reading a historical romance where a woman gets to have a profession and find her place in the world. I loved how comfortable Lucy was in who she is and her sexuality. I also enjoyed seeing Catherine figure who she is and who she wants to be. They had great chemistry, but I do wish we had gotten more romance. The book dragged a bit towards the end, so that's the only reason I am not giving it 5 stars. 

I quite enjoyed the audiobook narrator.
