Edenbrooke by Julianne DonaldsonMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Fans of Regency romance should not pass this book by! There was also a mystery thread with some action for readers who enjoy an adrenalin rush as well.
This is one of those stories where the characters are captivating and win you over, where you forget you are reading a book and feel like you visited with friends.
Marianne was a loveable heroine with a strong but gentle personality. I loved how she viewed the facts of what society wants versus who she wants to be and standing firm on her values. I loved every interaction between her and Phillip and their easy banter.
After getting to know Phillip in the novella, I would have loved a few scenes from his POV.
I was expecting different twists and turns and the ending placed a smile on my face.
The audiobook was very entertaining and captivating – I will recommend this story and audio to fans of regency romance.
