I really enjoyed this book until the end. I was disappointed by the ending. Everything before the end was great. Viola had a hard time of it, she just seemed very selfish at the end. Though I loved the chemistry and suspense throughout.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

I had a hard time connecting things and people in this book. The various characters were not consistent or acted inconsistently or something. It did have intrigue and a hea. But I just always felt I was missing something or did not quite grasp something in portions of my reading. That’s just my personal take on this read

4 1/2 stars. Piers was an admirable man and Viola was a strong and brave woman who had had a difficult life. The two of them fell in love. But there were obstacles that seemed insurmountable. It was a very satisfactory happy ending.

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2019
Prepare to be entertained in this story of a woman, finally on her own with her young son and trying to enjoy life. But there is a lot in her past that may come back to haunt her in the least expected way!
Viola Cartwight is a widower, but her sister had just married an Earl, so fortune was smiling. However she was being pursued or at least highly flirthed and engaged with Lord Piers. He seemed to be fascinated with her and comes around every chance he gets!
They dance, he holds her close, she tries to push him back. The looks from him are heart melting. The banter betweent the two is snappy and some secrets just come out unexpectedly!
But Viola does not want to get involved (ok she really does but tries to resist!) and thinks she is not good enough for him. He would also need a male heir, although he has a rambunctious little girl I loved, and thinks she may not be able to provide.
As she pushes him away toward another, then past rises up and there are so many unexpected challenges. Can these two ever get together and be happy?
I encourage you to read and find out while you are transported back to a different time and place!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Jane Austen-esque Romance With a Dash of Lust &Thievery
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019
I would like to start out by sharing that I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy of this novel. That being said, had I known such a hidden gem of an author existed, I would have already been all over her books ages ago. It's hard as a very descriptive writer myself to not be harsh on other writers writing styles, however, Carrie Lomax delivered a beautifully balanced amount of detail, action and character building that I have been looking for for ages. Not only is this time period piece precise in its historical accuracy but it also has a very believable story line for 19th century. Lomax emerges thoroughly in a overly romanticized time but doesn't forget to divulge the truths of that era (meaning she addresses both the romanticized version of the 19th century as well as the not so amazing parts like gender stereotypes, nationality stereotypes and etiquette). Furthermore, each character, no matter how minor, has been rounded out and while initially the build up and revealing appears to be slow in the beginning of the book, it quickly land slides into a plethora of complex characters and story development. The romance between Lord Dalton and Mrs Cartwright contained everything a reader who loves romance could ever want; Stolen touches, forbidden love, denial, fiery banter and soul erupting confessions. In that respect, these two characters could be smooshed into a Jane Austen novel... maybe a little less saucy but you get the point. Overall, I love this novel and if this is number two in a series... I will absolutely be reading the others. Please tell me there is one about the thief. Excuse me while I go see if I can obtain a hard copy for my shelf. Oh, seriously read this book if you like romance, well written subject matter and a good story line.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great romance and intrigue
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2019
I loved this historical romance with great characters, romance and intrigue. She was forced to marry at 15 to a 40 year old man to save her sister. Her husband got them in debt and ended up in jail where he got a cough. She lost their daughter, but had a son to raise. She went to their grandmother in London for a place to live. Her sister married a titled man and helped her financially. She met a man and they fell in, but there were complications galore. The ending was great. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hanging on Forever💞
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2019
This is a well written and researched book set during the Georgian period, which followed the Regency period.

Viola💃💔, a gentle woman who married young, has come from her farm to London after her never do well husband is imprisoned and supposedly dies from consumption.

She has a young son and a sister with her. The sister is quickly married off to an Earl, and Viola and her son live with her grandmother, Baroness Landor.

Viola💃💔 meets Piers Ranleigh🐺, Viscount Dalton, at a ton event and he becomes infatuated with her. He's a widower with a young daughter and a few years younger than Viola, but he sees her as his wife someday.
The book involves Dalton's🐺 endless and mostly fruitless pursuit of Viola💃. He never gives up on her.

The book ends in a cliffhanger. I disliked some aspects of The story, and didn't like Viola's character that much.

ARC Received from Hidden 💎Gems
I also got the book with KU.

Loss of a star for the cliffhanger. I hates em!

I hoped the story would get better, but I stopped before the 30% mark. Just too many irritating little things not true to the period.
