I liked Eliza. She was warm, sincere, and engaging. She also wanted to believe, so it was easy for Hugh to sweep her off her feet. But knowing Hugh, it was difficult to dislike him, even while you knew what was happening. You still wanted them to succeed. You wanted Hugh‘s family to warm up to Eliza and her rambunctious dog. If you want an easy to read romance with an engaging couple, this is worth a read.

It's been a bit since I read the first book, so it took me a minute to get into. These books have some great characters. This was a great story about giving people chances and really getting to know them. And I need to stop reading books that make me want to cry at work.

This is the 2nd in this series and another winner that I really enjoyed! I especially loved the heroine in this one (Eliza) as she‘s not the typical beautiful aristocratic young woman that mostly feature in these historicals. Her wealthy untitled father coerces a deal with an Earl whose father has left his family in deep debt to court and marry his “plain” daughter. Eliza and her big ❤️ steal the show here. 4/5⭐️

Up next, something a little more lighthearted than my last read and from one of my favorite historical romance authors. Out later this month.
