I've enjoyed this series so much and this third installment is another wonderful addition to the story! While these books can standalone, knowing the backstory of the magazine the FMCs work for adds to the overall enjoyment of the story. So far, we've seen the gossip columnist and art critic find their HEAs. This time, it's the artist behind the magazine's satirical cartoons in the main character role.

Constantia has been the standoffish one on the Goode's Guide team. She's being pursued by an unknown man and regularly moves at the first hint of trouble. When someone threatens the women at Goode's with exposure (all use pen names), she decides it's time to leave London. On her way, she's in an accident outside the home of the man she often skewers in her cartoons, Alistair Haythorne, the Earl of Ryland. Alistair is leaving London after renting out his townhouse to raise money for his impoverished estate. He offers to take Constantia with him with the cover story that she's to be the new drawing master for his sisters.

The third phase of the story takes place at Alistair's home in Devon and it's quite a ride! The pace picks up dramatically and there's a whirlwind of events. There's a change at Goode's dropped into the very end that makes me think that we might see the Haythorne clan again.

This is a wonderful, detailed story of bad first impressions, not one but five hellion sisters, amnesia (hmmm, really?) and an unexpected romance for both lead characters. Craig makes you laugh, cry, question your predictions and brings about the HEA with flair. Contantia Cooper is a 26 year-old cartoonist and her column, "What Miss C. Saw" is her contribution to the paper. She is running from someone and it leads her to Alister Haythorne, Earl of Ryland. She believes he is typical male member of the Ton; an irresponsible, arrogant, self-absorbed Lord. Let the fun begin with them getting to know the real qualities behind the facades.

This is the 3rd book in Craig's "Goode's Guide To Misconduct" series. Can be read as stand alone, with enough back story given so the reader does not feel lost, but enough interest to make you want to read the first two books.

Super historical love story. Brought together by circumstance Alistair and the mysterious Constantia can’t help but be attracted to each other even though their relationship was doomed from the beginning.
Fun lighthearted love story with tinges of Jane Austen..

I really enjoyed this as a third entry in the Goode's Guide to Misconduct series, it had that elmeent that I enjoyed from the first two books. I thought the characters worked with the previous two books and was everything that I wanted in this type of book. Susanna Craig has a strong writing style and continued the story perfectly. It left me wanting more and enjoyed the characters a lot.

What a fun book! I loved the madcamp romp-y nature of this. It felt retro in the freshest of ways - the perfect cocktail for a historical romance novel!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc!

Some familiar tropes here (it’s like a regency while you were sleeping mixed with other amnesia focused rom coms I’m forgetting the names of— see what I did there?) and executed with flair. I enjoyed the novel quite a bit as the characters were endearing and well-developed and the plot was interesting.

Constantia Cooper—aka “Miss C.”—is a satirical cartoonist for Mrs. Goode’s Magazine for Misses. Her witty sketches, often targeting the upper class (and especially one Earl in particular), are wildly popular, but she has to stay anonymous. When her identity is at risk of being exposed, she flees London in a hurry—and runs straight into trouble, literally. A carriage accident leaves her with a bump on the head, and she ends up being rescued by none other than Alistair Haythorne, the very Earl she’s been mocking in her work.

To protect herself, Constantia pretends to have amnesia, while Alistair—who may or may not have figured out who she really is—takes her back to his estate to recover. He ropes her into teaching his sisters to draw, thinking this will keep her occupied and maybe earn him a kinder caricature in the process. Cue the close quarters, sizzling tension, and a growing connection neither of them expected.

The Lady Makes Her Mark is charming, clever, and full of feels. It’s the kind of book you pick up for a light escape and end up staying up way too late to finish. If you love a good enemies-to-lovers story with some twists and turns along the way, you’re going to love this one.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Decisions, decisions....Very interesting Regency with energy and suspense. Both characters are likeable with compassionate hearts and survival focused. The flow is steady and I enjoyed their banter, how they got to really know one another and deal with their proximity combined with their mutual attraction.

An absolutely lovely story about Constantia, a very skillful artist hiding a secret, and Alistair, the earl of Ryland. When Constantia is struck by a carriage while fleeing a potentially dangerous situation, Alistair rescues her by taking her with him to his country estate. There she’ll teach his unruly sisters Danny, Eddie, Freddie and George how to draw.
I really liked the writing, Alistair is a selfless, honorable man, his sisters are fun and Constantia is such a sweet girl. She’s been running and hiding for such a long time, and Alistair is weighed down by enormous debts his late father made. You both wish them so much happiness, but both realize their individual limitations and for Alistair his responsibilities towards his family.
There’s a nice surprising plot twist, a satisfying ending and an epilogue that is not only the perfect wrap for this story but also a teaser for the next books in this series. It got me excited about the next adventures of the writers of ‘Mrs. Goode’s Guide for Misses’!
I would not have minded even more character development; more talks between the main characters, more mischief among the sisters, but it was a good book nonetheless.
I definitely will be looking forward to the next books in this series!
This is book 3 of “Goode's Guide to Misconduct” series but it can be read as a standalone.

5 stars

Great story. The Earl is impoverished mainly due to his artistic father who just wanted to paint. He's been the subjject of Miss C's cartoons who has likened hm to an insenstive rake. Miss C, who is actually Constantia, find out that someone is after her so flees her home and job. She's continually lied about who she is so doesnt expect anyone to follow her. Problem is that she runs out of an alley and meets a carriage and almost gets killed. Alistair takes her into his house and realises that he needs to take care of her. He recognises her but Constantia pretends amnesia. Alistair has 7 sisters so he knows when females aren't being completely honest but decides he needs to be the better person. He needs to leave as in an effort to conserve money he's rented out his town house so they both travel to his much reduced estate. They decide that Miss C will be an art teacher to Harry and the others.

Eventually Alistair realises he needs to marry money and so his pushy aunt asks Constantia to paint a flattering picture.....that's when the romance takes off. The denouement is a bit fairytale ish but I do enjoy this author's work and heartily recommend.

Miss C is running from her past when she’s knocked unconscious from a carriage. Alastair takes her in and promises to protect her till she regains her memory. She’s just feigning her amnesia though, & he’s pretending not to know who she truly is. She’s the one mocking him in cartoons for Miss Goode’s magazine. A road trip and a quiet falling in love ensues. However, Alastair needs to marry for money & Constantia has a dubious past. All will turn out well when secrets are revealed. I enjoyed this book better than the second one. It wasn’t over the top but just a a nice love story. Looking forward to the next one.
