Welcome to Litsy!

Another fun installment in this series. I wish I had enjoyed it as much as the previous books, but it‘s not a huge drop off. The mystery is secondary to the relationship between Bea and Hargrave as it continues its development. Fun characters, witty dialogue, it‘s a really nice diversion.

This was probably my least favorite so far, but it was still entertaining. I love Damien and Bea, and the supporting cast of characters is delightfully absurd. The whodunnit is obvious, but again, I don‘t read these for the mystery. I read them for Bea and her Duke.

I got hooked on this series and read the first five books in quick succession. I started this, but I needed a change, so I put it down a couple months ago. Time to start again with one of my favorite characters. #jumpstart2023

“If Beatrice Hyde-Clare had realized that her refusal to consent to her betrothed‘s slight alteration in their marriage vows would allow his grandmother to assemble a roomful of people to witness the happy event, she would have agreed at once to his request.”

I love this series! #FirstLineFridays

A lovely addition to the series! As usual I am primarily here for the romance & there we remain in adorable territory. There was new tension & sweetness in the relationship to update its original charm with depth. The writing — esp. dialogue — is as lively & comical as ever, which is what I love most about these books. Even the mystery was less predictable than some of the others, & I was intrigued by the characters. Hope there‘s more! ★★★★☆.
