The Belle of Belgrave Square by Mimi Matthews
5.0
THE BELLE OF BELGRAVE SQUARE is ...
A love letter to romance & fantasy
A mystery with secrets and soulbearing
A fairytale retelling complete with a Beast's library
I'm so enchanted with the relationship of Captain Blunt & Miss Julia Wychwood. They are a tangent to the most common Grumpy and Sunshine pairing dynamic. Captain Blunt surely is Grumpy but Julia is rather a dewy sunrise morning. She is temperate and softly glowing. It takes a timing and patience to bask in her love.
I. Am. Swooning! For Captain Blunt. Gruff and straight forward, but attentive and kind. All the while his military history sends shivers down your spine. His estate may be haunted. And there is gossip regarding a brood of illegitimate children. The truth is both a relief and a test of epathy and ethics.
This book is also perfect for us readers who have spent a great deal of our lives escaping to fantasies and romances and thrillers. Julia hasn't been anywhere but London under the pall of family's perceived infermity. But shes dreamed of the possibilities & thrills of life as shes known through fiction novels, romances, and penny dreadfuls. She is those of us looking for the seculded library (preferably with a cat to pet) set apart from the crowded ballroom. She is contentedly alone but not lonely. She can sit in companionable silence reading and lean over and gasp and swoon with her buddy reader.
Drama. Romance. Mystery. This book (And Series!) is not to be slept on. You won't find explicit scenes, but the passion burns and the affection warms your heart. I. Am. Obsessed.
