What a wonderful, wonderful book and delightful way to close out a series. The Parish Orphans of Devon series is one of my favorites and I have absolutely loved the Belles of London. That they have a crossover is pure heaven.

I loved Stella and Teddy’s story so very much. They are two characters whose pairing and ultimate HEA I have been anticipating for months. It did not disappoint. They were perfect for each other in every way. I loved that they saw each other. Truly saw each other. In Victorian England, a prematurely silver haired horsewoman and many in a wheelchair were subjected to disregard and ignorance. Both found ways to express their frustrations that society didn’t fully understand. What mattered is how they understood each other and the magic of that flows each page. Pure magic.

I loved these two together! Seriously from the start, the reader is able to see the tension, the heat, and the angst. And as the book goes on, we get to see them get to know each other some more and fall in love with one another. A definite 5 stars read.
