Another winning installment in The House of Oak series that I absolutely devoured! With this book, I saw even fewer options for how things could be worked out, and per usual, Nichole Van absolutely astounded me with how she resolved all the issues.

I thought Georgiana was such a delightful character. I appreciated her conundrum, and the feelings she had to work through in trying to decide what to do about her life. I loved how real she was. She was the kind of person you could enjoy watching a movie with, complete with oversized pajamas and popcorn, or attend a regency-themed soiree with. Her personality was so enjoyable. She was also so cute, how much of a romantic she was. While I would never find the same kind of thrill she did with mysteries and people skulking about, I loved that part of her personality.

Sebastian is such a sweetheart. I couldn't help but love him! I always love a male protagonist who is head over heels in love with the FMC, and will do anything, go to any lengths to try to help her see him as a potential love interest. He may have been a little rash with his marriage proposals, but I found it endearing rather than annoying. He's the cutest, and so perfect for Georgiana.

I did not foresee who was pulling all the strings and doing such dastardly things until right before the big reveal. And even then, I only guessed, and it was literally right before. Like a couple pages before. Nichole Van wrote that mystery so well that I was fully invested and clueless and it was so good.

The very end of this book made me so happy. I was so glad for the way things wrapped up here. And once again, I cannot wait to read the next in the series!

Audiobook Review: Narrated by Shiromi Arserio -- I've said it before, but I loved this narration! Shiromi is a fantastic narrator and suits this series so well!
