Philippa Holds Court by Jennie Goutet
5.0
Philippa Holds Court by Jennie Goutet is the second book in the Clavering Chronicles, and is a stand alone Regency novel. Philippa, our heroine, is a vibrant person whose intellect and skills I found endearing. Our hero, Jack, juggles so much in his life that love has yet to come into the picture. I wanted to jump in the story and meet them both.
This was a fascinating Regency story as it involved the attempt at repealing the corn laws in 1819, and gave you a glimpse into the workings of the British Parliament. Jennie Goutet research provided an excellent backdrop for a fantastic story.
Philippa Holds Court has wonderful romance, personable characters, interesting backstory, and is a true joy to read! As a lover of all things Regency I am thrilled to add Philippa Holds Court to my Regency Library. I highly recommend it.
I was given a copy by the author. All opinions expressed are my own.
