Historical fiction is not always my thing, but after reading Sophie Irwin's previous two books I have come to realise that historical romance specifically (and particularly when written by Sophie) is my thing.
This book captures all of the elegance, romance and regality of the regency era whilst also being accessible, funny and swoon worthy. I loved the play on How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days and following Lydia's antics in her bid to totally put off the Lord who wants to marry her for convenience had me laughing out loud. Lydia and Lord Ashford were the epitome of grumpy sunshine and if only they were able to see past their own stubbornness, they may have realised their love for each other sooner. But where would the fun be in that?
I had a great time with this book. It was a lot of fun and was fantastic company whilst I was travelling at the weekend. I can't wait to read more from Sophie Irwin and hope that her book is the talk of the ton.
