With thanks to Allison & Busby, I am thrilled to be sharing my thoughts on this read.
Heiring the plot:
London, 1815. Cassandra Hazeldon is on the run.
Under duress to marry a repellent friend of her uncle, Cassandra has made her escape, but now she is very much alone. With luck and quick thinking, she finds a refuge in a grand mansion in Mayfair, and a protector in Lord Irlam, or Hal to his friends.
Posing as a friend of Hal's sister, Cassandra is swept up into the social whirl of a Brighton summer. But the attraction between her and Hal is starting to scorch, and when jealousy is added to the mix, things are set to reach boiling point.
Bobs and Books honest review:
I loved getting swept away with the time period, the story and Cassandra herself. The Regency romance had all the components I expect from this genre, with passion at the heart of this.
Strong female leads, dashing male leads and a bit of spice thrown in for good measure.
Enjoyable, and joyous escapism. Delightful.
Out today.
