Do Be Sensible, Miss Wynchcomb

This book is was very entertaining and you feel like you're with the characters when reading. Please need to read book two. Love it.

Great book. Loved that Constance wanted to be with Evan so much that she would happily give up a Very comfortable life to be with him.

“”Do Be Sensible, Miss Wynchcomb” a thoroughly fun story by Sarah Richmond. I downloaded this book on the 3rd of April and finished reading it today just 1 week later. I was lucky enough to request a free copy, and even luckier to have a good story with some novel twists and turns to make life interesting… at least for the reader. The characters might have enjoyed life to run a little smoother, but what fun is that for the reader? Anyway, this is a SWEET romance with the usual problems between people, I mean, characters… Misunderstandings, old secrets that manage to come out of the dark places and into the light where they can be met with courage, perseverance, forgiveness and LOVE made this another 5 star read for me..

What an Awesome Edwardian period story! A strong young lady from one background, meets a handsome young man from another background. Very well written, excellent characters. I wished they had said what happened to Lady, and her daughter Violet. I highly recommend! Thanks! Enjoy!
