A review by smbollen
The Lady in the Moneylender's Parlour by Rosanne E. Lortz
4.0
I received an ARC of this novel from BookSirens without obligation, this review is entirely voluntary.
This is the second in the Allen Abbey series of books by the author. In this book we meet again the now nineteen year old Margaret Blackburn who is just beginning her third London Season and her former neighbour William Allen, still recovering from life changing injuries suffered at Waterloo.
Their paths cross at a moneylender's parlour which leads to a renewing of their acquaintance and the beginning of a change of fortune for them both in ways neither was expecting.
Like the first book I really enjoyed this relatively short read, the writer has a good grasp of the period, manners and mood of the Regency. I found this fun, amusing and entertaining throughout. The hero and heroine sympathetic and likeable. High-spirited is often short hand for annoying, and suffering should read insufferable, not so here I'm pleased to say.
I will definitely read this author again.
