Description

Friendship…

Lady Theodora Montgomery departed Miss Emmeline’s School of Education and Decorum for Ladies of Outstanding Quality to attend her first London Season—her three dearest friends by her side. With her sharp wit and skill on the archery field, Theo is far more interested in winning a large purse prize than securing a husband. But when she is unmasked on the tourney grounds, her face exposed to all, she fears her identity and days spent gallivanting around London will cause not only her undoing, but the downfall of her friends as well. 

Loyalty…

Mr. Alistair Price, heir to the elderly Viscount Melton, arrived in London with his eight younger siblings in tow. He is charged with keeping his family name above reproach until the Season starts and his sister, Miss Adeline Price, is presented to society—though that proves far more difficult than Alistair ever expected when he discovers his rebellious sister climbing down the side of their townhouse and scurrying off to Whitechapel for an archery tournament. His focus remains on saving his family from the certain ruin and disgrace Adeline’s actions invited—until Alistair catches sight of another female archer, her arrow connecting with far more than the center of her target.

And honor above all…

With Theodora’s future—and that of her friends—in jeopardy, will she agree to a marriage devoid of affection, or risk everything for the man who won her heart?

    Very slow…. The characters drag on. I do not know if I can finish it. Adeline is one of the most immature characters I ever read….. continue reading at your own risk.
  • Solid like.

    This was a solid like for me. For being so long, I found the character and plot development lacking. It was rather one note. There were also timeline issues. Like it’s April. Has the season really not started? There was no real explanation on the aging viscount and when he had all his kids and how old the viscountess is by comparison. And there was not mention of Theo’s story from Cart’s novel. I could be wrong, but I remember it being kind of a big deal. Also, why did the French cartographer have an Italian name. We just needed explanations. Idk. I did enjoy it overall. It’s a solid late regency read. Certainly not the worst of I’ve read. But it won’t go down as a favorite either.

    If looking for a book with strong female characters, this is certainly one to happily oblige. Luckily, it has an entertaining story to go hand in hand with that.
  • Sweet, clean fun.
