I'm pretty lenient when it comes to historic accuracy in romance novels but parts of this really got my ire up. The biggest offense: Lily has a white wedding dress squirrelled away in her trunk, years before the start of that trend.
The plot is very contemporary. Lily's ex is going to share a nude picture of her with the world in two weeks and it's going to ruin her. Meanwhile her new love interest, a sexy manbeast in a kilt, has so much baggage he's convinced he's not worthy of any woman.
This book isn't very well constructed. Some parts seem like they belonged to a different story, then were edited in. The time between The Rogue Not Taken and this book isn't consistent either. Lily's only skill is sewing, but it's barely relevant.
Two characters from The Season make appearances, which is nice I guess. The aliterative chapter titles continue, but with less enthusiasm, up until the last few chapters where they make way for puns on “ward”.
