This is a super fun read. I really enjoyed this one!

Many thanks to the author, the publisher, and Netgalley for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

At the beginning of the book I was a little confused with all of the names of the family members. Once I got into the rhythm of the story I was able to identify each one. The plot moves fast and I found it to be quite funny at times.

This was a funny and humorous book to read . I did enjoy finding out what the next antics were going to be. At first I struggled with all the names but soon knew them well. I do recommend that you read this book.

This was a cute romance read. It was not super romantic considering it is a romance. I did find that it moved a little slow at times, while at other times it moved too fast for my liking.

I did enjoy this light and funny tale. The hero is a young man with 9 siblings. Our heroine is a wealthy widow! This is a bit of a challenge to read, but quite worth the effort! I recommend reading it.

Seventh Heaven is a family novel in 1782 in England. The story is about a widow Lady Louisa, who meets with the Berowne family. All the members named after numbers of their birth order. In the beginning it was quiet hard to keep up with so many characters, but even with that it was an entertaining read. The only challenge for me was the language that the author used, but with time the reader can get used to it.

SEVENTH HEAVEN by Elizabeth Bailey is a farcical Georgian romance. Louisa is delightful, but I struggled a bit with Septimus. He's a poet, and the language he uses tends to be lofty and a bit difficult to read. This book relies a lot on dialogue. If you like banter and absurd situations, you may enjoy this book

Seventh Heaven is a very entertaining and often humorous tale of a family. Louisa is a widow, who meets the members of this family, learning that their names are actually numbers of their birth order. She first meets Decimus, the youngest, number ten. who asks her to marry him. The family is mostly destitute as far as finances are, so she realizes he is asking for her fortune. As time goes on, she meets all of the Berowne family, and befriends most of them. Quarto and Quint, four and five of the family, also asks her to marry them, in very strange ways. She of course, tells them no. After she meets Septimus, number seven, they do become great friends, as well as Octavia and Noni, eight and nine, sisters of the family. She becomes great friends of theirs also, but their strange sister, Sexta,six, she never draws very close to. It is a very fun story to read and I enjoyed it! I would highly recommend it!

Lady Louisa Shittlehope, a wealthy young widow, finds herself caught up in society events when she brings her ward to London for the season. Smart, determined and wary of fortune-hunters, Lady Louisa faces society’s disapproval when she becomes friendly with the eccentric Berowne family. Will Septimus Berowne, the seventh of ten siblings and a poet, prove he is motivated by love and win over the intrepid Lady Louisa? Find out in this captivating and humorous romp through Regency London.

I started reading this book late at night, assuming it's a light read.

It happens in historical England and author used many unknown terms for me, that I had to constantly translate (english is not my native language). But I quicky got used of the terminology, so after few chapters I understood almost everything.

First, I was confused about main characters- there were so many of them mentioned. Was it Quarto, was it Quinto... No, it was Septimus. There are 10 brothers and sisters, all named after numbers. I liked the fact that author was so witty.

So, story unfolds, and quickly there were witty and well written word battles between Louisa and Septimus- story is captivating, chapters go quickly by.

I enjoyed the story till the end.

(review posted on Goodreads too).

What a fun and witty read! The characters were laugh-out-loud hilarious, the story was romantic. A truly enjoyable book.

This was a funny book, not laugh out loud funny, but 'did I really read that' funny. There were many moments where I had to read carefully because there were some delightful pips and quips. The heroine is a wealthy widow trying to help her cousin manage the season. Her cousin is young and the heroine is late twenties. They are with their mutual aunt who is an arbitter of society. The hero's youngest brother approaches and tries to woo the heroine, but she tells him she is too old for him. The hero, one of 10 siblings who are named one thru ten, but in Latin, meets the widow after this and in bewitched. He is a poet and she over hears him reciting at a salon that they both attend. This was a very nice book. The writing was a little intense, but if you read carefully, it is very enjoyable. There is a remarkable sword fight that keeps the reader on the edge. The story is set around society events and the pitfalls of attracting fortune hunters. I enjoyed this book. The story makes sense, but is very prosy. The story is consistent and the grammar is correct. All of the characters are likable and develop as the story goes along. I give this story 4.5 stars because it is a little difficult to read, but it was so enjoyable. I recommend reading it.

This was not a book that really did a lot for me - I didn't really feel connected with the story or the characters (though Septimus did make me chuckle once or twice). Nothing was really good or really bad. It was a nice story that was good for a days entertainment, but it didn't do anything extraordinary for me. Nice, but that's it.

Lady Louisa is just as confused about the Berowne family dynamics, but she cannot stop herself from becoming a surrogate mother hen! It seems as though every time she turns around she is embroiled in some kind of drama with the family, but the only semi normal one is Septimus, the 7th of the 10 kids and the proclaimed poet!

I think the author did a great job in keeping the plot moving, but with the names and that it became so confusing that I would have to go back and make sure who was who again. I just think that the names is what made me crazy, but I loved the overall storyline. However, there were times that the book lagged and it could have been more cohesive.

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.
