An artfully slow burn!” ―Ashley Poston, New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics “Sophie Irwin is an exciting and original voice. She's a must-buy author for me.” ―Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Carrie Soto Is Back “Light and enchanting....It’s a fun, unexpected ride from city ballrooms through country gardens, with a diverse cast, witty repartee, and plenty of laughter to go along with the love.” ―Publishers Weekly “This kisses-only tale is a delight, and readers will be guessing just who Eliza finds her happy ever after with until the very end.” ―Bookpage, starred review “Through a plot that unfolds like the brisk shaking of a tablecloth after a particularly crumbly tea, with characters who plot, plan, and develop, and with some deft touches of asperity and banter, Irwin joins ranks with writers such as Evie Dunmore.” ―Library Journal “Fans of effervescent historical fun and admirers of Bridgerton will be in heaven.” ―The Bookseller “[A] decadent romantic comedy… Irwin's second novel is a captivating, often hilarious, exploration of a rarified world of lords, ladies, wealthy widows, and social climbers.” ―Shelf Awareness
