I was so excited when I heard Sir Horley was getting his own book! He's such a fascinating character, and I was eager to see more of him. However, I had a tiny bit of apprehension about the focus on Belle as I found her a bit annoying in the previous books but Alexis Hall absolutely knocked it out of the park. Belle shines in this book. She's witty, sharp, and incredibly insightful. Watching her grow and evolve, and seeing the depth of her character, completely won me over.

The friendship between Belle and Sir Horley is now one of my absolute favorites. It's heartwarming, hilarious, and completely genuine.

The story itself is a wild ride, full of the absurdities you expect from this series, but it also packs a powerful emotional punch and I loved every single minute of it.
