I received a digital copy of this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is the second book in Amy Rose Bennetts Byronic Book Club series. I would say you could read this as a stand alone. There’s no cliff hanger however I recommend starting at the beginning of the series. The first book really sets up the situations of the 3 friends and without knowing the back story of the first couple when they’re referenced in this book you may be slightly confused.
Once again we have the fantastic narrator Sasha Higgins. She’s really just perfect for this type of heroine - blue stocking, unassuming, genuine, a little awkward.
Our heroine was very relatable. She’s attempting to scrape along on a shoe string budget managing a household to the best of her ability, looking after her father who’s growing stranger with age and worrying about her absent brother. She never loses faith or love for her brother or father. Which is nice to see often in these plots a person will give up on a loved one and then have a tearful “I was so wrong” reunion when they find out the true story.
Loved our hero. First of all - smoke show large male. Competent, not afraid to get his hands dirty and able to see past the heroines awkwardness to all of her awesomeness and also appreciate the awkwardness. He is pretending to be far below his actual social standing which just makes their instant attraction and her appreciation for him all the more sweet.
Not only is this a romance but there is also mystery, intrigue and spying. This is an open door romance with an HEA. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. This one was enjoyable and not to be missed.
5/5
