This is a Quickie review. For the full review, please visit The Romanceaholic.Okay, first off, is that not an absolutely gorgeous cover? The painter in me is completely in love with it!
I had previously read the first two books in the series, The Accidental Countess and Lessons in Seduction respectively, both of which got a 4.5/5 Star rating from me here on Goodreads. It has been over a year, however, since I’d read either of them, so while I was vaguely familiar with the characters, I was a bit fuzzy on the back story for this novel. As such, I am reviewing this as though I were reading it as a standalone rather than the final installment of a trilogy.
I was happy to find that there was just enough detail to not only move the story forward, but to whet the reader’s appetite for the previous novels had they not already read them. Because of this, I would say that it worked well as a standalone novel, though it will be obvious to new readers that it is part of a previously established series. Regardless of its workability as a standalone, I would definitely recommend reading the rest of the series simply because I enjoyed the other books so much.
This novel was very consistent with Melissa Schroeder’s previous books in the series, and as such earns the same rating. 4.5/5 Stars
