I enjoyed this one! Title not so much!

[Laura]

The book was okay. Just had too slow of a pace.

[Jo-Anne Barker]

Too slow for me, but I enjoyed it mostly being set in a tavern.

[Josh]

An idyllic setting, amazing characters and a murder mystery all wrapped up in the charm of regency England.

[Tonya Warner]

A real nice historical romance. A little intrigue and mystery brings Benedict and Emma together. A sweet story.
