I’m loving this whole series！ This can definitely be read as a stand-alone but it’s so fun to see characters from previous books so I would recommend reading them all！ I loved the main characters and how they interacted with each other。 I especially enjoyed getting to know William Cobbett and finding out why he is so grumpy。 The plot was fun and held my interest。 It was well written and kept me up reading- I can’t wait for more from this author！

I enjoyed the book， but it wasn't my favorite in the series。 It was well written。CleanLanguage: NoneSex/innuendo: Sweet kisses。 No sex， but mild discussions about rape/men taking advantage of women。Violence/gore: Mild fight scenes and some deaths。 One man beats a woman by hitting her a couple of times。 A few peril/danger scenes。Dark/Creepy: None， but some realities of that time period are discussed。 Really sad， but mild in description。Spoilers:I enjoyed this book。 I enjoy seeing past characters I enjoyed the book， but it wasn't my favorite in the series。 It was well written。CleanLanguage: NoneSex/innuendo: Sweet kisses。 No sex， but mild discussions about rape/men taking advantage of women。Violence/gore: Mild fight scenes and some deaths。 One man beats a woman by hitting her a couple of times。 A few peril/danger scenes。Dark/Creepy: None， but some realities of that time period are discussed。 Really sad， but mild in description。Spoilers:I enjoyed this book。 I enjoy seeing past characters return， especially Hawthorne。 He is my favorite。 I enjoyed the Gretna Green twist at the end。 That section of the story was my favorite！ Sometimes the realities of the time period were a little heavy in the story， but it was still a good plot。 I also think the cover design is cute :） 。。。more

This tells of how Georgie， a viscount’s daughter suffers at the hands of her after her father dies。 She takes matters into her own hands to escape and hide and in the process meets her hea after dealing with some big obstacles。 A sweet read but on a personal level I would have like a follow up consequence with the maid and her actions

This is such a fun series。 I love all the friends that play into the books。 This is William's story。 He is quite grumpy and doesn't know how to change。 Enter Georgie， who is feisty， brave and out spoken。 They both are in desperate need of the other but neither one really wants to acknowledge that fact。 This book has daring deeds， intrigue， romance and so much more。 I would highly recommend。 This is such a fun series。 I love all the friends that play into the books。 This is William's story。 He is quite grumpy and doesn't know how to change。 Enter Georgie， who is feisty， brave and out spoken。 They both are in desperate need of the other but neither one really wants to acknowledge that fact。 This book has daring deeds， intrigue， romance and so much more。 I would highly recommend。 。。。more

This is a great series！William and Georgie’s story is unique - love is found is an unlikely situation。 I appreciate how Georgie’s plight wasn’t simply to escape an unwanted marriage; it went deeper than that。 I loved seeing William’s heart soften throughout the story， even as Georgie’s outspokenness stayed strong。 The supporting characters have me itching to find out what their stories will be， but I’ll need to wait for books 4 and 5 ;）

Another great addition to the Gentlemen of London series。 William and Georgie were so much fun to get to know。 They both had suffered great loss。 They both needed each other， they just didn’t know it。 The banter between them was charming。 The storyline held my interest throughout and I didn’t want to put it down。 Just the right amount of mystery， intrigue and sweet romance。 Looking forward to more in this series。

I really enjoyed William and Georgie's story。 I liked how Laura Beers interweaves the story with mystery and really captivates you with her fun characters。 Although William and Georgie may not have truly resonated with me， I still liked seeing them come together。 I did enjoy the strength of the female characters， though sometimes I really didn't care for Georgie's defiance。 But I also didn't like William's dominance either at times。 Both evened out enough though for me to still like them and mak I really enjoyed William and Georgie's story。 I liked how Laura Beers interweaves the story with mystery and really captivates you with her fun characters。 Although William and Georgie may not have truly resonated with me， I still liked seeing them come together。 I did enjoy the strength of the female characters， though sometimes I really didn't care for Georgie's defiance。 But I also didn't like William's dominance either at times。 Both evened out enough though for me to still like them and make it believable when they come together in the end。 I do have to say I absolutely adore Lords Hawthorne， Haddington， and even Hugh。 Those three really captured my heart and I can't wait to read more about this whole crew in the next book。 Miss Ashmoore has been an absolute delight and she truly will be a fun character to hopefully see again。Side note: There is abuse that takes place in the story， though not graphic I would mention it for trigger warnings。 The slow growing romance is sweet and I would definitely describe this plot as a Grumpy won over by Miss Sunshine。Overall， great addition to a delightful series！ Looking forward to the next book！！！I did receive a free ARC for my unbiased review and all thoughts are my own and freely given。 。。。more
