A Modest Independence
A Modest Independence | Mimi Matthews
5 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
He Needed Peace... Solicitor Tom Finchley has spent his life using his devious intellect to solve the problems of others. As for his own problems, they're nothing that a bit of calculated vengeance can't remedy. But that's all over now. He's finally ready to put the past behind him and settle down to a quiet, uncomplicated life. If only he could find an equally uncomplicated woman. She Wanted Adventure... Former lady's companion Jenny Holloway has just been given a modest independence. Now, all she wants is a bit of adventure. A chance to see the world and experience life far outside the restrictive limits of Victorian England. If she can discover the fate of the missing Earl of Castleton while she's at it, so much the better. From the gaslit streets of London to the lush tea gardens of colonial India, Jenny and Tom embark on an epic quest--and an equally epic romance. But even at the farthest edges of the British Empire, the past has a way of catching up with you...

Mimi Matthews is a master at romantic chemistry built on emotional intimacy. That is all.

I enjoy British historical romances that show more “middle class” characters. Seeing a world outside of balls and house parties is fun and a break of the usual.

Tom and Jenny head to India to try to find out more about the death of her cousin Giles, an earl (from previous book). The adventure and travel information was so interesting and fun to read about.

This book was a slow burn and while slow at times, was enjoyable.

OMG I LOVED THIS MORE THAN I THOUGHT I WOULD! Mimi Matthews does it again! I absolutely adore this series and I cannot wait to see where it goes from here. Jenny is definitely one of my fave characters because holy hell is she relatable and Tom is a soft muffin who tries to hide behind an emotionless mask. What more could you want? ❤️❤️

This book has so much romantic/sexual tension I could faint. I love Mimi Matthews's books and this one is brilliant so far!
