This historical romance is absolute perfection! I was completely hooked from the beginning and I could not put this book down!!
The characters were soo well written, I loved their banter, the true enemies-to-lovers, and their growth! And the slow-burn romance was so well executed!!
The setting was beautiful and I truly felt like I was there with the characters!
I am still hung up on this book since finishing it last night. ITS JUST SO GOOD!

You know that fizzy, excited feeling you get when you pick up a book you just know is going to be amazing? I've felt that since the moment this book was announced, and after absolutely devouring it, I have never been happier to be correct in my feelings!

This book was so good! Fantastic rivals-to-lovers, delicious banter, a dreamy seaside setting, endearing and hilarious side characters, compelling family dynamics, and a romance that had me swooning and giggling with delight made this an absolutely enthralling story from start to finish!

Anna is a headstrong lady recovering from a social disaster and Graham is a businessman doing his best to support his family. I loved that a change of scenery and unusual circumstances allowed them to get to know each other in a different light and see that there might be more between them than annoyance and animosity. Their chemistry was fantastic and I loved watching them reevaluate the judgements they'd made in the past and taking big risks to secure their happiness.

Graham's family plays a big role in the story and I adored them. Specifically, the little spitfire that is Tabatha was freaking adorable and reminded me a lot of my own sisters. I thought they added such a lovely layer to the story, and the fact that it was set in Brighton was so unique and fun.

This is Megan's third Regency romance and proves once more that she is a powerhouse in this genre. Her writing is stunning and she does a masterful job of weaving together many different elements into a single story that feels whole and satisfying. If you're looking for a swoony romance about throwing off the opinions of others and seizing happiness no matter the risk, please pick up Highcliffe House!

Thanks so much to the publisher for an advanced copy!

If you love the regency era, enemies to lovers, and witty banter then this book is for you! I’ve been excited and anticipating this read. It did not disappoint and I absolutely adored this story.

Graham and Anna do not get along. Anna feels that Graham had taken all of her father’s time and attention leaving little for her. And Graham feels that Anna despises him for his lower position in society. When they are forced to spend a week together at Graham’s home they quickly discover that they both have misunderstood each other, and in order to create the futures they both want they need each other.

I think one of my favorite things about this book besides all the witty dialogue was Graham’s family. Graham’s sisters are relatable and delightful. It felt like I was the one in their home interacting with his family. Overall I would highly recommend this book. You will not regret picking it up.

Thanks to NetGalley and Shadow Mountain Publishing for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Highcliffe House by Megan Walker is a wonderful historical fiction and romance that I truly enjoyed.

I have really loved two of Ms. Walker’s previous books, so I really wanted to read this one. Anna amd Graham are excellent main characters. I really enjoyed their “enemies” to friends to lovers journey. Both have way more in common than they think. Both are misunderstood, both have risen above their adversities, have been hurt, are looking for understanding, acceptance, and love. Both end up finding it along this story.

Beautifully written, well-crafted characters, and whip-smart dialogue that made my heart smile as well as laugh out loud.

Excellent book.

5/5 stars

Thank you NG and Shadow Mountain Publishing for this wonderful arc and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

I am posting this review to my GR and Bookbub accounts immediately and will post it to my Amazon, Instagram, and B&N accounts upon publication on 5/7/24.

When enemies suddenly aren’t.
This is a wonderful story of learning to see people instead of the labels we have put on them. Anna Lane was well acquainted with Graham Everett, her father’s business partner. He was arrogant, proud, and took her father away from her as they explored business ventures. And she hated him for it. Graham new Anna. She was spoiled, rude, and even insulting. He tried to stay away from her wanting nothing to do with her. So, what happens when Anna’s father decides to send the two of them together to assess the viability of a business venture Graham wants to pursue and Anna wants to sabotage? What happens when the pretenses drop and their true natures are revealed to each other, the hidden parts of their lives laid open? A wonderful read about seeing below the façade we all wear. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy. This is my review and all thoughts are my own.

Author Megan Walker just keeps writing the most beautiful historical fiction! From the dreamy cover to the utterly captivating story inside, you will dive into an absolutely romantic dessert. Simply breathtaking!!

Another great book by Megan Walker! Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, and this one was done so well. The banter between Graham and Anna was so fun, and I really enjoyed how they came to realize their misconceptions about each other. One of my favorite parts of the book was definitely the little sister, Tabitha. She was so sweet and added a lot of humor to the book.

I loved this book and could turn around and read it again. Anna Lane dislikes everything about Graham Everett,. It seems like Mr. Everett is constantly trying to get Anna's father, to invest in one scheme or another. When an investment proposal, takes Anna to Highcliffe House and the town of Brighton to stay with Graham Everett's family Anna is determined to hate it Anna doesn't expect to find a friend in Graham Everett's mother and sisters. To find a different side of herself. This book was well written and I loved it so much.

HIGHCLIFFE HOUSE by MEGAN WALKER is a most enjoyable read and one I cannot recommend highly enough. It is beautifully written, with lovable characters, full of witty remarks and sarcasm, love and hate, and romance.
The story takes place in England during the Regency period, with Anna Lane and Graham Everett, seemingly arch enemies, being sent to Brighton by Mr Lane where Anna ia to investigate an investment that Graham has suggested to her father- Anna is jealous of the good relationship between Graham and her father, especially now that Mr Lennox has made a fool of her and she needs her father on her side against the cruelty of the “ton”. She is determined to hate Brighton and highjack the investment. She is also tired of people, especially men, seeking her out because of her father’s wealth and position and wants to be loved for herself…..
It is while spending time at Highcliffe House with Graham and his delightful family that things start to change…..
That is all I am going to tell you for fear of spoiling things for you.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Shadow Mountain Publishing. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

By far one of my favorite Megan Walker stories, and it is close. I throughly loved this tale and was completely invested in her characters and their outcome. Although, going into most romance stories, you "know" how the story will end with them together, I spent the entire book waiting anxiously and rooting on their endeavors. I loved seeing the enemies to friends to lovers story plot. Every time the characters mentioned how they "hated" the other, I couldn't help but think, "just you wait!" Even though I "knew" the outcome, I was throughly involved in their romance. I highly recommend this story!

I love Megan Walker books! She excels in this genre and it was just so good. I loved the character journeys. Definitely recommend!

This is a sweet enemies to friends to more story. They have known each other for a long time as he has been working investments with her father. However, he has taken her father away from her in terms of time, and Anna resents him for it. They are stuck together for a week with his family so she can be swayed on an investment, and things start to change.

Graham is a self made man caring for his mother and two sisters. As he tries to convince Anna to agree to this new investment, things start to fall out of his neat scenario.

This is a clean, sweet regency read. The description of Brighton makes me want to travel there. I loved the little sister Tabitha and hope she may get her own book someday.
