A favorite to last.

This book gave me something to look forward to all the time. Between the intrigue, secrets, dances, romances, enemies, and outfits, I was hooked. I loved all the bits of history woven throughout the fiction to add depth and richness to the story. Mary did not start out as my favorite character but by the end I wanted nothing but the best for her.

I look forward to rereading it whenever I want a historical, slice-of-life, saucy story to embrace me.
