I enjoyed this story- seeing lady Kilbride gradually come out of her shell, after such an awful marriage, was really lovely. I liked Rob, although it definitely got a bit annoying that he was so principled about accepting family help!! The wider characters were authentic and likeable (except for Kilbride himself of course!) and Rob’s whole family were lovely. I enjoyed the story overall

This was a fun read , I found it quirky and an easy romance which I finished quickly. Not my usual read but, it mad a change. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

I don’t usually reach for Regency or historical romance, but I needed something to hold me over while I wait for the new Bridgerton season—and this did the trick! Caro and Rob’s story is emotional, layered, and surprisingly addicting. Caro’s trauma and healing journey felt authentic, and while I had some questions about the historical accuracy of her divorce, I was still swept up in the romance and emotional depth.

Rob is a kind, respectful love interest, and I loved how their relationship helped Caro slowly come back to life. It’s a bit dramatic at times, but if you enjoy a slow-burn with emotional payoff and good old-fashioned pining, this is definitely worth a read!
