Roses in Red Wax by Louise Mayberry
3.0
I have to admit, Roses in Red Wax caught my eye because of the cover. It is my first book by this author so I wasn't sure how it was going to go but I ended up enjoying the story and am looking forward to more books in this series.
The fmc in this story is Jane Stuart and I thought Mayberry did a great job of building out who she was / her background. At first it was a little fuzzy as to what was going on moving from the prologue to the story but I found myself enjoying her as a character. I also thought the relationship she had with her brother was well done too. As she is introduced (and initially pretty offended by) to Percy Sommerbell, the nephew of a friend, she has to make some decisions that will not only impact her but his future as well.
I thought Mayberry did a good job of building out the character's backgrounds to help drive the story forward. It isn't without conflict and as more is revealed it becomes clear as to why Jane and her brother are in the situation they are in. And when Percy has to face the fact that he now has responsibilities, it all comes together for these two...but not without some hardship.
This was a pretty quick and enjoyable read. If you're looking for a new adult historical romance series to start, consider picking this one up.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy in exchange for a review.
