An enjoyable read, I read it quickly, in a couple of days. The plot is interesting, a lady writing a character that's based on the man who held up her coach.  Turns out he's real and right in front of her.  Thea is written exactly as I imagine a person would feel about writing, it becomes imperative that pen and paper be found and used.  The characters screaming to be let out into the world. 

Jasper is between a rock and a hard place.  Family to protect from family that means harm.  All that's standing between the two is poor Jasper. When his villainous uncle demands something be done Jasper has no choice but to do it. You wouldn't think of a highwayman being pitiable but here he is.  There is a code of ethics so to speak, lines he won't cross. I was relieved when he was freed. I will give a slight con, the ending seemed a bit rushed, like everything had to end by a certain page. Didn't detract from my enjoyment.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This much is true is a delightful read! It’s the 3rd book in the series and I’m eager to go back and read the first two novels to learn more about the Hartley family. This regency romance was funny and engaging!

Cute! Nice! Could have had more pages getting into the conclusion. Maybe liked this a little less than the first two - tension? but their love was quieter than the sisters’ I think, cozier

Jasper St James!!! The highwayman you are!!! 

Regency romance done SO well. The yearning, the pining, the stolen moments, the “I can’t help myself, I need one more taste” moments were delicious. 

Thea had an actual backbone and her own storyline which I loved. Sometimes the women’s storyline gets lost in these books but hers didn’t. She stood on her own and Jasper lifted her up. 

The highwayman concept was so fun/interesting to. Kinda like a Robin Hood moment? I wanted to off his uncle the first time he spoke ill of Jasper. 

The end play kinda lost me for a second and I would have loved a proposal scene or a epilogue if she really
with child or not and what their future looked like together.


Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Starts off slow and the ending is both abrupt and silly. In between there are some lighthearted and sweet moments. Wish this one was as funny as the other books in the series.
