To Marry and to Meddle by Martha Waters

3.0

Thank you so much to Atria and Netgalley for providing me an e-arc of this. All thoughts and opinions are still my own.

This was another fun addition to the Regency Vows series. I've been looking forward to Julian's story since we met him and this was just as fun as I'd hoped for.

I really enjoyed Emily's personal growth throughout this book. We meet her as a quiet, perfectly poised debutante. But throughout this book we get to see her loosen up and make decisions for herself. And I really enjoyed getting to see that other side of her.

I also thought the theatre was a fun premise/setting for this. It definitely set this apart from other historicals since that's not a setting we get to see very often - especially one that contains society members.

Unfortunately this book just didn't make me feel much. It was a fun, lighthearted good read. But it's not a story that will stick with me. I didn't feel the chemistry or a connection the characters or romance. And for me, a favorite book is one that illicits an emotional reaction. And I just didn't get that from this book.

But if you're looking for a quick read that's a fun twist on Victorian society, I definitely recommend checking out this book/series!
