Were you hooked by that book? Let me know in the comments below.Welcome to the Phoenix Club, where London’s most audacious, disreputable, and intriguing ladies and gentlemen find scandal, redemption, and second chances. Thank you to the author and Netgalley for providing me with a copy. I can recommend this book and the rest of the series if you like historical romance. Romancing the Heiress is part of a series collaboration between Darcy Burke and Erica Ridley.
I liked Leah and Phin and they fit together perfectly.
It was easy to see her as a bitter woman, but also as a mother who wanted the best for her child, even if she went about it a bit ham-fisted. Her digs at Leah seemed more small-minded than particularly nefarious. The transition from friendship to love was so natural. When he realized that Genevieve wouldn’t suit him at all, he directed all his attention to Leah. His adult feelings for Leah were very different from when they were childhood friends, and kept intruding on his courtship of Genevieve. Phin was a bit slower on the uptake and he spent a lot of time and effort to woo Genevieve. Leah had always carried a torch for Phin and even though she had no expectations in that direction from him, there was a part of her that kept hoping they might end up together. It was very clear right from the start that Phin and Leah used to be great friends and both were devastated in their own way when Leah left. Phin was struggling to keep his family’s botanical gardens in tip-top shape and decided to court Genevieve, since she came with a large dowry. She was most excited to see her childhood friend, Phin.
Leah convinced the Selkirks to accompany her to Marrywell under the guise of finding a suitable match for Genevieve.
Selkirk, treated Leah with an offhanded deference and made it clear that her services would be terminated after Genevieve got married. After her first employer passed away, she moved on to become the companion to Lady Norcott’s great-niece, Genevieve. Leah Webster left her home in Marrywell five years ago to get away from her abusive mother. It is a sweet friends-to-lovers romance that will tug at your heartstrings in more ways than one.
