This book! Sooo beautiful! Mimi is absolutely one magnificent writer! And this story sparkles with her touch! I truly love how she brought 2 books together with children! How perfect is that?!? I love the other stories too, so this just sealed the deal! Now i can’t wait to read the 4th!!!

“She knew now that she could never spend her days stitching silently in a drawing room, content to be admired by some respectful adoring spouse. She was made for the storm. For braving the mad currents of life, not sheltering in the shallows.” Lady Katherine Beresford is beautiful, bold, fearless, and impetuous. She’s definitely her mother’s daughter. After an unsuccessful season, Kate is completely bored with men until she meets a handsome man who rescues a scraggly puppy in the muddy streets of London. Not one to worry about social conventions, she finds out who he is and immediately begins to pursue him. Charles Heywood is on his way home after having resigned from the Navy. His swashbuckling days are over and all he wants now is to settle down to a quiet, sedate life. But after receiving a mysterious letter, followed by a surprise visit from Kate, a whole new adventure is about to begin for him. Mimi Matthews has once again crafted a beautiful love story that drew me in from beginning to end, and I absolutely loved it! Charles and Kate are fabulously developed characters with such great chemistry. The story was well-paced and engaging, with a suspenseful mystery to solve and a dangerous villain that you love to hate. The parents of Kate and Charles are characters from two previously published books, and I loved their appearance in this story. They are obviously older now, but I was delighted that they are still so much in love with each other. Many thanks to the author for an eARC. All opinions are my own.
