Winning the Marquess’s Hidden Heart
I enjoyed this historical Regency romance. Julian Fairleigh has recently become the Marquess of Ravensford at the passing of his father. When he lost his father, he received a note from his fiancé breaking off their engagement, and to top it all off, something does not look right in his father’s ledger. With the title comes the necessity to marry. When Lord Bellamy seeks to pair him off with the eldest of his two daughters, he and his best friend do an identity switch so the family character can be observed. Eleanor Bellamy is the quiet daughter who would rather be unseen and in the background while her sister wants to be center stage. While Julian’s friend entertains the family choice for the marriage, Julian is quietly falling for the quiet one. What happens when the truth comes to light? I highly recommend you read the book to find out.

When Julian is promised to Felicity, never having met her, his best friend suggests that they exchange identities to find out what's what with the arrangement. Felicity turns out to be a spoiled beauty, and Julian falls for her younger sister Eleanor. Between this deception and a few enemies sowing scandal and fraud, their relationship almost doesn't survive, but does end in their HEA.

Was well written and well written....
I would've given 5 stars,but,
I can tell the author is an over thinker. She has a great way with words But once the 'climax' of the story has been reached, I would recommend, to go forward and be brief with the final. I do and such.
After a while the last chapter and epilogue, becomes too much!

Okay but super long
This story had a good plot, but it was waaayyy too long. Too much repetitive angst and thinking. I found Julisn to be wishy, washy, and frankly, Eleanor was boring. Daisy's books are usually good, but I had a hard time finishing this one.

Too wordy
I had to skip a lot of the second half of the book (I’m sad to admit) because there’s just too many words describing how someone did something or what they were thinking or why they were doing something. Not for me.

The turns of phrase
We're clever to start with. However, they became so repetitive that they became annoying. It felt like I was back in high school, and the assignment was a 1500-word essay that the author was struggling to reach, so she over embellished.

Chapters repeated
This was a good book but could have done with a good editor. Chapter's 18 and 19 were repeated in chapter's 20 and 21. I didn't need to read this twice.

Really original story for a historical romance
I loved the book . It was a really good and most of all a very original trope for our story. Something that seems prevalent in #clean and #wholesome writing. There were many characters to like and a few to really dislike and both groups kept me engaged. I think some timing that seemed off is the Season still ongoing in the Summer. The ages of the girls is too old and would have been a worry for their parents and since it was part of the story line, why not make them a more historically accurate age for having a season. Do your homework and do some research. Readers of historical fiction know a lot about the regency era and expect our writers do too.
