Love this series!!

I have loved both books. So real, so well written and narrated! Would love to hear more about some of the characters! Why didn’t she tell Benedict about Daphne and Sebastian’s tussle?? I thought that was outstanding!!

An entirely SATISFYING love story ♡♡

Thank you, Alice Coldbreath,
for one of my favorite historical romances.
A shining example of the very best of my favorite genre.

Excellent narration of an extraordinarily wide range of characters.

Just an excellent story.

Sigh… so perfect

This marriage of convenience is my most favorite. I also love a good sunshine and grump. But with this one, the h isn’t your typical sunshine. I enjoy everything about this book. This narration does it Justice. Alice Coldbreath is the master of character building. The beginning might feel a little slow, but hang in there. It’s completely worth it.

Another wonderful love story

I really enjoyed lost to this book, book 1 was good, this 2nd book is great, I’m looking forward to book 3. If you’re a prude, and feel uncomfortable with hot love scenes, you probably should not get this Prize fighter series.

I adore this steamy series

I absolutely love Alice Coldbreath's writing. Her stories have real plots and drama that keep me interested until the very end! The love scenes are always so passionate and, generally, very realistic portrayals of women's pleasure (though perhaps less so in this particular book :-/ ). Good read and will definitely continue the series at some point.
