Good read
Silly and unbelievable.
Very cute and fun.
Such fun being Royal.
Pleasant but nothing great unless you like British humor
Loved the book, love the author. Have read every one of every series she has written and highly recommend them. Do not have to be read in order to understand the plot lines; fun and interesting.
One of my absolute favourite series. Love the characters, and the good, clean, fun writing. Excellent!
Read the whole series in order. These are just lovely, and I can’t wait for the next one and the next one.
ike all the Lady Georgie books, it is just great!
Have read the whole series – very fun, lovable characters. well written
I liked it. The mystery was pretty good- there were a few red herrings, more than one secret came out, and the final reveal was satisfying. It had all the elements there.

Great fun
Tons of fun! I adored the upper crust British aristocratic backdrop. No big surprises here, but a tied and try genre VERY well done.
Truly gifted writer.
I adore this series. Laugh out loud funny in places but with a clever mystery thrown in for good measure.
I have read every book the author has written. They are wonderfully crafted. You feel as if you could move in next door to the main characters and have them over for tea. The mysteries are intriguing without being terrifying and you always root for the good guys in the end. Each series is special in its own right (pardon the pun).
Loved this book. I have read all in the series and am eager for more.
Enjoyed this fun romp of a story.
How terribly lonely these people must been, to go searching for love, especially with the age gap.
This is the first in the series, set in the early years of the Great Depression. I enjoy the look into the royal family at that time in history, particularly the going on with Wallace Simpson. The characters are well drawn, especially that of Georgiana and Darcy. I’ve read each book in the series and am happily anticipating the next one.
