Lillias is the beautiful and popular daughter of an earl. They are immediately attracted to each other, but she is above his reach, and 🔻
Julie Anne Long is always charming, and always has at least a couple of laugh-out-loud lines. This third installment of the Grand Palace on the Thames series certainly meets those marks. 4.5❤️

Very odd - the cover of this ARC shows in my kindle library, but when I open the book, the cover is nowhere to be found.
Anyway, I started this book this morning before heading to work.
