This is the first book in Fenna Edgewood’s latest Historical Romance series, and I loved it! This is the story of Hugh Cavendish who we first met in the Gardner Series, so I was very excited to find out we were getting a full story for Hugh as I already loved him from the moments, we’ve seen him in before. However, this is a standalone and can be read independently to the other series.

Hugh was charming and endearing and I adored his character, he was just the dash of charismatic fun I needed! Alongside Hugh we have Miss Beatrice Weston, aka Triss, who is a school teacher and not a part of Hugh’s world at all. I loved the class differences and seeing these two connect. Triss was such a stubborn, strong and independent women which I adored though I wished she was a little less stubborn sometimes! I really enjoyed the romance and liked Triss putting High through his paces, they were a very unexpected pairing, but it worked out beautifully. I have to say the very first interactions between Triss and Hugh hooked me into the story immediately, it was so entertaining, and I adored watching the story unfold.

There were a lot of side characters that were very compelling to read, and the ending had some twists I did not expect! I am very intrigued as to what will happen to these side characters, and I can’t wait to read a book with them at the forefront.

Overall, I think this is one of my favourite books by Fenna and I cannot wait for the rest of the series to be released!
