I did enjoy this book and might want to read the 3rd book, Henry's book, because of Felicity's history with him and his mysterious background, but I don't "believe" in "clean" romance books ;)
This book was entertaining and I enjoyed the characters. There was kissing and some discussion of skin on skin contact, but it didn't go farther than that. That was fine for this book but calling it "clean" is an adjective bound to dissuade some from reading it.
In this series, the Bradwell brothers are introduced. James is at a ball and meets Felicity who is hiding in the library to avoid dancing. She has a social anxiety of sorts and will faint when dancing because of her nerves. Though they try to avoid a scandal, they end up marrying and then moving to his country home.
Felicity had met James' brother the previous summer and thought she was in love with him, but they lost touch. Then when she met James she didn't know who he was. When she was reintroduced to Henry, they were uncomfortable, but ultimately James and Felicity discover that opposites can attract.
Ultimately I enjoyed James and Felicity discovering they could work together to find things they enjoy together and the characters were engaging. What I liked and thought was different about this book was that it was written in the first person, which most regency/romances are not.
Worth a read if you like opposites attract or are looking for a "clean" romance.
