I absolutely loved this book! This entire series was so much fun to read, I’m sad that this is last in this incredible series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s so much better to read them in order!
I really enjoyed this well written, as always, story, the storyline and the plot was a page turner, witty and with some suspenseful drama.
Miss. Isabella Hillgrove owns and run a typing school for ladies. She is paying an unexpected visit to the handsome Duke of Westmore, regarding his dismaissal of three of her typist. He doesn’t expect the sassy and feisty Miss. Hillgrove to be so assertive! It was such a funny first encounter, and as the story progresses, this just gets better.
The Duke asks her to be his typists for seven days, then he will endorse her school.
She needs his endorsement to bring more positive attention to her school!
In the seven days, they discover an attraction and that leads to stolen kisses and steamy scenes. Isabella being the profressional and responsible lady that she has had to be, stops working for the Duke.
As you will and must read on, Isabella finds herself a victim of the Fenians!! I loved the drama and suspense that follows, and of course the happily ever after!
I loved this book, it was so much fun reading, I took my time. An absolute must read!
I was given this ARC by the author for an honest review.
