Loved this series

I loved this series so much! I loved getting to learn more about Jax and this world as this story continued to unfold. I wasn't completely sure about this when it first started but as the story progressed I enjoyed it more and more. Jax is thrust into ruling her duchy when her parents die. Jax finds out though that their death may not have been the accident it was made to look like and has to figure out who to trust but she also has lord Perry and a promise from her father she will marry one of the Duke's sons and he has sent his youngest Percival. I loved watching Jax and Perry get to know each other as these books continued. Jax gets better at figuring things out as the mysteries go on. And there are some threads that tie into later books which made this series even more enjoyable. Jax is her own woman and not willing to let others control her though at times she finds it very hard to figure out who she can trust. I also loved how the prequel was included and gave a lot more insight into certain events that took place in this series. I loved getting it from George's POV as well. I really hope there are more books in this world and with these characters.

Fantastic Little Mysteries

When I first started listening to these audiobooks, I was planning on listening to them between other books because they were so short and I really wasn't sure how I was going to feel about them. But after finishing the first book, I couldn't stop. I went right into the next book and then right into the book after that. I couldn't stop. They were just so much fun. These are audiobooks that I can see girls of all ages being able to get into. If I had any kids, these would be the books I would give them. But at the same time, I really enjoyed them as well. The narrator was also fantastic. She made a perfect Dutchess!
This book was given to me at my request. I am providing a voluntary and honest review.

Excellent

Well done, intriguing plots, and a good character in Jaq to carry the stories. She is witty, and smart. The narration added that regal tone to the stories which enhanced them. Enjoyable for the young, no sex in them. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Lovely

Such a lovely tale. It had intrigue, action, friendship and a beautiful romance.
Strong female MC without being overbearing. Ending story was a nice addition.
Narration was excellent.
Looking forward to this continuing.
