This is a historical novel set in England in 1879. The Setting: I usually read contemporary, so I don’t mention the setting, but here I feel I should. Pretty, young girl rich, handsome dude living in a dark, shadowy mansion? No need to read further we know how this is going to go, right? Wrong. The Premise: Nineteen-year old Ivy Leavold is now alone in the world, homeless, and being sent to live with her late cousin Violet’s widower, Julian Markham. Now of course, I have to have all 4 books. Turned out to be an entertaining historical romantic suspense. But I 5-starred the first book I read by Sierra Simone, Misadventures of a Curvy Girl, so I thought this was a safe bet. I usually don’t read historicals, and I’ve lately been turned off by the virginal woman/rich older guy pairing.
This took me two days to read only because I had to put it down for adulting time. How did I get here? Researching romance author websites for inspiration on what to do with my own led me to Sierra Simone’s site, and to her limited-time giveaway of this book.
