I really enjoyed this book! It was my first one by Stacy Reid but won't be the last.

The characters were well developed and the relationship that was built up between Mina and Simon was believable and well done. Mina's willingness to just jump in to do whatever it takes to help her brother (and herself) was admirable and she wasn't one to shy away from a challenge...which made this story interesting.

I loved that Simon was willing to consider Mina to be his secretary even though that was pretty scandalous for the time and this created a great avenue for them to build a relationship that included friendship and respect.

If you're looking for a quick and engaging read in the historical romance genre, I recommend picking this one up. I'll definitely be reading more by Stacy Reid.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
