BUYING ADVISORY: HS - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Genevieve (23yo) inherited Wimborne when her father, the magistrate, passed away. Desperate to keep the estate’s failings under her care out of gossip but also upset that the latest incident was a theft, Genevieve finds herself hiring a thief-taker – against her better judgment. Jack is arrogant, and Genevieve is stubborn, but they might actually make a good team.
Mystery, escalating threats, romance, funny one-liners – what more could a reader ask for? Barker steps out of the well-worn path of regency romances by introducing unique characters that follow their own paths. I was happy to figure out the perpetrator while still wondering what Genevieve and Jack were going to do next.
The majority of the characters are English. The mature content rating is for mentions of alcohol, a couple of makeout scenes, and illegal activity. The violence rating is for assault and gun use.
