Another fun read for fans of series such as Downton Abby.
Emily Summers and her sisters end up hosting some of the royal family’s male staff when the Duke and Duchess of Kent and their daughter come to rent a neighbor’s cottage. Emily wants nothing more than to become an author and she is given the opportunity to get published if she writes a guidebook first. One of the Duke’s secretaries helps Emily, and she is quickly attracted to him. She finds herself in a dilemma when someone from her past shows up and her heart is pulled in two directions.
After reading several historical fictions in a row, this one fell midway into the pack. It was a good read but not outstanding. Julie Klassen did a great job setting up the scenery to pull me in but the romance aspect fell a little flat. I would have liked to see a little more tension to draw the characters together and apart before they found their way fully to each other. Overall, it was an easy quick read that fans of historical romance will enjoy.
