Aww, this was a very cute romance. I enjoyed the mystery, the way the relationship progressed, and the history. It was all fun and fresh, which is hard to accomplish if you are an avid historical romance reader

Violet Marsh is quickly becoming one of my favorite histrom authors! I love how beautifully she blends together nuanced conversations, beautiful emotional depth, swoony moments and delectable tension, humor and banter, mystery, and a memorable cast of side characters that include the most cheeky and endearing furry side kicks.

If a histrom includes a bookish heroine who frequently dons trousers, you can bet your spectacles I’m going to read it. A woman in trousers who gets a double take from the hero is in my top 3 microtropes. I am simply feral for this trope and can’t get enough.

The entire cast is fabulous and I love how they support each other no questions asked. Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop. I was completely in Marsh’s thrall as I had to know what was in store for Georgina and Alexander next.

The audio was positively delightful and the narration fully immersed you in the story!

'Our Dear Miss H. is on the Case' is a historical, whimsical romance with an academic side story and a short of mystery to be solved by the characters as the prompt storyline.

The plot overall is pretty cute, with the characters being adorable and endearing and having chemistry between them that was aided by the melodrama of their love story. The latter was enjoyable and kind of steamy but never reached a 'boiling point', something that made me question why those scenes were there in the first place. Still, the romance was served feels, so that's that.

Also, the mystery was engaging for some time, though it took the passenger's seat midway through, as the book focused more on the romance.

However, the academic aspect, with the archeological excavations and the love for historical artifacts that Georgiana had, were refreshing to read and an innovative idea for a historical romance of this kind.

Finally, the production of the audiobook was perfect and the narrator did an amazing job!

This book was 3.5 starts for me. It was fun but was longer than I felt it needed to be. This book shows how hard it was to be a female, unmarried back in the time this book was set.. She did the work & had the ideas but didn’t get the credit for it. The narrator did an amazing job.

I did not realize this book was part of a series. I think if I had read the first book, I would have enjoyed this one even more. I did enjoy the audiobook narrator as well!

Thank you Forever/Hatchette Audio/NetGalley for this audiobook!

First off - LOVED the narrator; she slayed.

This book was fun! I liked Georgina & Alexander together, and I really loved the numerous animal companions (lmao). I will say it was a BUSY novel; it felt like a lot of plot was cramming itself into the romance, but it may have just felt that way due to this being an audiobook(?) Either way was lots of fun & I finished it in under a day!

This series is quite spectacular. Clean romance mostly (a little bit of naughtiness), vulnerable but very likable protagonists, a troupe of animals, and friends who are just the best!!!

This book was definitely not as moody as book 1, where both protagonists were being tormented by the villain. This book focused on the relationship and support that two people can share. Alexander has been mocked, bullied, and subjugated to horrors by his parents and peers for his foot. Beneath his careless facade lies a thoughtful, kind man who is revealed to Georgina as we read along. The mystery / adventure was fast-paced with enough twists and turns to keep it exciting.

Marisa Calins narration was decent. Engaging, but her intonations were not to my liking. Having said that, she did variations pretty well, especially when you have a talking parrot in play.


Cannot wait for book 3.
