A Lady Awakened

4.5 stars, rounding up. Plot got a little complicated at the end with all the various inheritance shenanigans and secret plans, but I really enjoyed this. Kind of hard to call this a slow burn considering the premise, but the progression of Martha and Theo from being barely able to tolerate each other to friends and then more was delightful and really well done. I also liked the side characters, especially Sheridan (Martha's lady's maid). Not a lot to say here but this one is so good! Highly recommended.

(2022 Summer Romance Bingo: widowed protagonist. Would work for property inheritance as well.)
