The Davenports is a good book. It's good historical fiction. However, I strongly stand on the side of it must include a Happily Ever After to be considered a Romance so those comparisons to an American Bridgerton are sorely lacking. Aside from the slight misrepresentation, it truly is well written and I hope we can revisit the Davenports again. Olivia, Amy Rose, Helen, and Ruby are all strong women with distinct arcs, brava.
