I really do enjoy this series and all the family dynamics ! This third book was much more focused on the family and the budding romance and wasn’t as complicated as the 2nd book. I don’t know why we had so many pages of Benjamin’s backstory in the last few pages but I can live with that 😂 I do believe this author wants to include a lot of historical facts in her book which is nice but I’m more here for the romance when I’m reading HF

Also - still waiting for my favourite character’s story . I have some ideas 🤔

3.5 ⭐️

This is such a good example of when historical romance addresses class struggle! The pacing worked well and even though the impediments to their relationship were somewhat frustrating, the payoff was very fun!

I love historical romances and this one was very good. I have enjoyed reading this series so far and love watching Olivia get her Happy ever after! Although the book was great some times it did fall a little flat!

Historical romances just get me. I am 100% sure I was born on the wrong continent and in the wrong era.

With my third book into the Taverston story, I am truly invested in Olivia finding her HEA. Like a great series of historical fiction, the Taverston family bucks ton tradition and appreciates everyone, no matter their social standing. "Waiting for Love" is the story of Olivia and Benjamin and the Taverston's push for Olivia to finally enter society and find a match that is advantageous to all.

This was an enjoyable read but without heat. Unfortunately, at times it read a little too slow without the heat and longing to keep you engaged for that long. If you however enjoy a sweet romance, this is the perfect book for you.


Thank you to Carol Coventry and Net Galley for an ARC copy for an honest review.

Another story of the Taverston family.
Olivia has been in love with Benjamin for a long time.
He is friends with her brothers and is embarrassed by her devotion.
Ben goes away for a few years returning a different man and taking a job as her brother’s steward.
Romance rekindles but class differences get in the way.
Slow burn. Family dynamics are intriguing.
