Love this series!!

I have loved both books. So real, so well written and narrated! Would love to hear more about some of the characters! Why didn’t she tell Benedict about Daphne and Sebastian’s tussle?? I thought that was outstanding!!

An entirely SATISFYING love story ♡♡

Thank you, Alice Coldbreath,
for one of my favorite historical romances.
A shining example of the very best of my favorite genre.

Excellent narration of an extraordinarily wide range of characters.

Just an excellent story.

Novelty

It's nice to see historical romance that's not about the nobility. This novel shows the reality of the few options available for women and the unfair working conditions of the time. The love story features a slow-growing affection based on mutual respect, and the attraction grows throughout the story.

my favorite story read perfectly

I love this story. and Carmen Rose was perfect. I hope Ms. Rose is now Alice Coldbreath 's narrator.

Great story

Highly enjoyable with great characters. Made me smile and laugh out loud. Could use a few more of the steamy love scenes (my oh, my).
