3.5

A different historical regency romance, and I rather liked it. A solid 3.5 from me.  It had a slowish start, but the second half more than made up for it. The heroine Eliza is widowed at 27, and she is a different woman and left an inheritance but with a modesty clause where she may be disinherited if she becomes subject to a scandal. Rather than returning to her parents' house, she and her cousin move to Bath. It's a story of a women's fight for independence and love of art / painting.  I did like it and I will be looking for her books in the future.
