This was a strong third entry in the Heart of Bath series, it had that element that I was looking for from the previous two books. The character had that feel that I wanted and worked in the time-period. Jenny Worstall has a strong writing style and can’t wait for more.

In this story we follow Marianne and Edmund as they form an alliance against their respective relatives who are set on marrying them.
The novel is written in peculiar format- third POV past tense, each chapter following one main character, with their inner thoughts written in present tense, in italics. Additionally, the writing style is such that it reads like a comedic play, not a novel. Due to this, I found myself unable to take the story seriously.
The characters seemed too juvenile to me. I have a suspicion that this book was intended for different age bracket.
