About the Book
Place of publication taken from publisher's Facebook page.Book Synopsis
Brighton, England 1820 Amelia Moore wants only one thing--to secure the future happiness of her younger sister, Clara. With their stepfather's looming death, the two sisters will soon be on their own--without family, a home, or a penny to their names. When an invitation arrives to join a house party at Lakeshire Park, Amelia grasps at the chance. If she can encourage a match between Clara and their host, Sir Ronald, then at least her sister will be taken care of. Little does she know that another guest, the arrogant and overconfident Mr. Peter Wood, is after the same goal for his own sister. Amelia and Peter begin a rivalry that Amelia has no choice but to win. But competing against Peter--and eventually playing by his rules--makes Amelia vulnerable to losing the only thing she has left to claim: her heart.Review Quotes
"Charming...beautifully written, and hopelessly romantic. Sure to be a new favorite!"
-- "Julianne Donaldson"
"Readers will find it easy to invest in practical, business-minded Amelia as she learns to follow her heart. This gentle love story is a treat."-- "Publishers Weekly"
"What starts as rivalry quickly intensifies into undeniable chemistry, and Amelia must choose whether to stick with logic or gamble with love. Set in 1820, Walker's standalone proper romance features an elegant game of cat-and-mouse amidst high-stakes matchmaking. Themes of love and trust, paired with rich period details, make this an immersive drama of the lesser nobility. From rounds of parlor games to chaperoned afternoons on the Lakeshire Park estate, Walker effortlessly amplifies the decorum of Regency England with chic wit and delightful characters who will stop at nothing to reach their nuptial goals."--Booklist -- "Booklist"

A Perfect Regency Romance!

How can two sisters find happiness? Could both hope for a true love story and not a marriage for the sake of survival? I loved everything about this book! The storyline is beautifully Austenesque with interesting characters and unexpected twists-creating such a delightful love story. I read, interchanging the ebook and audiobook which were both entertaining. I have quickly become a Justine Eyre fan so this audiobook was as exceptional as the story itself. Her accent, character portrayals and pacing was first-rate. She really brings this story to life. I am sure I will listen to this book again and again. This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language.
Magical!

Be still my beating heart! This regency romance was absolutely breathtaking. It is honestly hard to find the words to describe how much I loved it. I was engaged in Amelia's story from the very first page. I loved her courage, her wit, and her ability to find joy in life despite her difficult circumstances. The relationship between Amelia and Peter seriously gave me heart flutters. What a fantastic pair! I loved all their dialogue and watching their relationship develop from one of animosity to something more. This book is perfect for a hopeless romantic like me. I eagerly await the next book by this author!
