Reviews

Praise for Sophie Irwin

Witty, enrapturing and deliciously improper I was entirely seduced. Beth Morrey

A perfectly pitched blend of collar-tightening tension, hilarious societal rules and a will-they-wont-they that echoes the golden age of the romcom. Sophie Irwin is a genius Ore Agbaje-Williams

It is just joyous. I feel bereft to have closed the pages and realise the characters are not real. Wonderful, warm, funny and joyful. Cesca Major

What a complete joy this was to read! Everything you could want in a regency romcom, written with real affection for the genre, intelligence, and style. Niamh Hargan

An absolute delight from beginning to end, immersing readers in a masterfully crafted Regency world brimming with loveable characters and laugh-out-loud wit! Felicity George

I absolutely loved this book. It gave me all the delicious feelings I want from a Regency romance, and more! I simply could not put it down till I was finished. Emma Orchard

Sophie Irwin continues to lead the charge for Regency revival with this fabulously witty, unputdownable and oh-so-swoonworthy follow-up to her debut. I adored Elizas story. Jessica Bull

This sparkling novel has all the elegance and charm you could hope for in a 19th-century romance but also a very modern sensibility, its witty and fun, which makes it relatable. Adele Parks
