Review - One of the better House for the Season books. This one focused less on the debutantes and more on the side of the male rake. It was an interesting read, although I do wish more had been made of the war. I did find this one a bit unbelievable in that Guy Carlton could be reformed so easily from rake to husband. I wish more had been made of Esther's relationship with her brother and sister.

The antics of 67 Clarges street servants are funny as usual. The romance was bleh. Too many red flags for me to like it.

I love this series as a kid, and when I saw it was free on Prime, I decided to give it another go. I remembered that this was a weaker entry, and I found that was still the case. What's interesting about this series is that it's really the servants that carry it, and the couples vary greatly in how appealing they really are. This book was a little lower based on that scale, so I have to say I probably wouldn't read it a third time.

Another great addiction to A House For the Season, between a military rake with PTSD (which is successfully treated with his true love's bosom....). The servants were more front and center this book, and once again Rainbird and Lizzie steal the show.

Booktubeathon book #4 - book older than me
This is the first book I have read via audible, and I was disappointed in an annoying narrator who gave the characters weird voices that didn't really fit and sounded very similar, making it hard to understand who was talking.
I was also more than disappointed in the fact that there was a woman who at gun point was forced to marry a man in order to save her reputation and that there was attempted rape. This is a let down in a good series.
