This is the eighth short story I have read by Amelia Fernside. Without hesitation I can say that Amelia is an absolute master when it comes to clean regency romance short stories. I will divulge no spoilers here, but I was captivated from the the first few pages and devoured the story in one sitting. The characters came alive for me as real people reacting to real life situations. If you are someone like me who enjoys great fiction and clean romance then you will be delighted to read this offering. All her works are stand-alone stories. I highly recommend reading anything she has written.
