Bailey stayed with me while I finished this historical romance, and tolerated being a book prop for photos. While this had the requisite HEA and I did like the characters, I found the plot and prose to be a slog and I almost bailed 1/3 of the way through. I can‘t say I was rewarded for pushing on. I own the next book in the series, so I‘ll eventually read it, but my expectations will be appropriately adjusted.
