A quite nice book to read

This is the second book of the The Whitford Crew series. The author does a nice job of setting up the scenes and drawing you into the story. The setting of the story is the late 1800s, and you really get a good feel for that time period. This was a time of women's rights and change and new inventions. Regina is looking for new investors to help her father's business move forward. Walter is looking for an investment opportunity and is interested in investing in Regina's business. Regina is not too fond of Walter, but he is determined to prove himself to her. This was definitely an interesting time and I liked the progressive way of thinking of the characters. The characters were well-developed and interesting and I enjoyed their interactions and seeing their development throughout the story. A creatively written story that held my interest the whole way through. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment of the series.
I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

What will happen when Walter gets the money that they need will Reggie leave him to go back to her family? Or will he be able to convince her to stay and to become his wife?
Such great characters Reggie is free spirited, strong willed but always thinking of others. She loves her family dearly and in time she has fallen for Walter.
Walter is determine to help Reggie & her father and he battles on until he gets what he needs. He stands up against his father.
A great read.
Thank you Netgalley & the publisher for the copy. This is my voluntary review

I went in expecting a light-hearted romance (after reading book 1) and mostly got it though not quite.
I love the setting - the period of new inventions and women's rights. The heroine teaches bicycle riding in a Sports academy, the hero is a financier who decides to start his own business instead of working in the family firm. I liked the banter and the fast pace, the romance was tender and passionate with some light fem dom. There is also meddling family and loyal friends. All that while enjoyable read as superficial to me. The author touched on a bunch of issues but none was explored in depth.
My main issue is (view spoiler). This was all presented in detail and I felt worried about her. The hero was amazing and took care of her to the best of his abilities but I felt she was too vulnerable on her own with him in New York. Her confusion and fear were palpable to me. And she had to face his friends (all of them treating her very well) and his hostile family in a state that was physically and mentally fragile. I felt really bad for her.
This whole episode (middle section of the book actually) was a total surprise as nothing in the blurb suggested it.
Overall, I am intrigued by the time period and despite some issues I had with this story , I would like to continue with the series.

With obstacles ahead will Regina and Walter ever be able to find a clear path to a future together? Well crafted characters, an underlying sense of menace and an immersive narrative combine for a suspenseful romantic one sit read.

Really enjoyable and somewhat unique historical fiction. Suspenseful enough to make you not want to put it down. I tore through it very quickly.
