I don't like admitting this, but there was something about the cover of this book that turned me off so much I almost didn't read it. I'm very happy I recognized my own folly. The book is a wonderfully told historical romance. Is also has a unique twist in that in includes short stories written by some of the characters within the pages. I am nearly finished with the fourth book in the series and have number five on standby. I can't wait to see how it ends.

Elizabeth Black is the headmistress of a girls school in 1865s Victorian London.

This is an author I've followed for several years. Her last few books took a turn I didn't like, adding "edgier" content. This book marks a departure from her publisher and a return to a sweet story with characters I could really root for. I'm hopeful it was the publisher pushing those sour notes from the villain's perspective, and I can look forward to fun stories in the future.
