ENJOYABLE CONCLUSION.

I appreciate that all of these books can be read as standalones. I’ve read only books seven and eight and haven’t had any issues in enjoying the stories. You do get to see all of the previous characters so I imagine reading them in order would add to that, but it’s okay if you want to start here too!

This is a sweet historical romance with one of my favorite tropes, marriage of convenience. I liked Sampson and Grace a lot and looooove getting dual POV and understanding both of their mindsets and decisions. The only thing I was missing were some more interactions between them. I would have loved the relationship to have more development and really see that chemistry being built.

I liked the suspense elements added in and not quite knowing how things were going to work out in the end. It’s a wonderful balance of light and dark and I think the faith aspects are preachy, just woven in to add another layer to the story.

I loved seeing the epilogue and where all the characters have ended up and thought this was a beautiful book.
