4.5 Stars — Heroes & Heroines
I loved this heroine.I really loved how neither main character compromised their morals, even while in the terrible situations that they were trapped in. Super honorable and lovely.But I especially loved Millie, she began the story struggling to fit into her world and trying to force herself to bend to please her family but it was so satisfying to see her grow and recognize what was right, and what she truly needed for her life. I was cheering on the main characters and so thankful they had their faithful friends through it all. I did feel like the hero was a little dense at times and I would find myself getting a little frustrated with his oblivious nature but he’s a good man who means well so it’s easy to forgive him.Lord Neil was a surprising character, I’m glad he gets his own story. I didn’t really feel any curiosity toward him before this book, he just seemed like a supporting role in the previous books but I was pleasantly surprised by his role in this story. I’m excited to read his book next.As always this author keeps things fresh and engaging. Her characters feel real and her storylines are captivating. I honestly had no idea how the conflict would be worked out, I was on the edge of my seat through all the tension. I loved the ending, it felt bright and joyous. I also loved Sarah. What an awesome friend she is.Clean Romance, nothing more than mild kissing.No Violence: The heroine is accosted but it’s not described and she was never physically harmed, but some people may need a warning. I thought it was well done.No CliffhangersHEA

Darling, sweet, clean romance
Sally has done it again. A throughly enjoyable, clean romance that touches the heartstrings and deftly navigates broader social issues of the time and today.Millie Wedgewood's family has fallen from Society's favor with her older sister's rejection of a duke's grandson in favor or eloping with a solicitor. When Lady Olivia agrees to raise Millie's status in exchange for humiliating Sir Isaac Fox, she agrees under pressure from her social climbing family.Sir Isaac Fox is haunted by his time in the war and grappling with the loss of his arm, fearing is less a man.Cross purposes and misunderstanding confuse both Millie and Sir Isaac, leaving them both wondering if their hearts can remain whole.I feel like this book begins to set the stage for Lord Neil's coming story, because his character seems to gain much more depth in this installment of the Inglewood series.

Surprising. Glad I finished the story.
I struggled to finish the book up to the halfway point. Millie was so shallow and naive, she wasn't a particularly sympathetic character. However, I am glad I pushed through. Millie's parents, although kept to the periphery of the story, were impossibly selfish (mother) and apparently weak (father). When the facts of the past were revealed, Millie's initial behavior was understandable. Isaac is a gem, as were his friends. I was especially surprised by Lord Neil. His behavior may be a hint at what to expect in the next book. Clean and sweet with a much-deserved HEA for an honorable soldier.

Another winning clean romance from Sally Britton! Loved it and read it all today.
I am an avid reader of Regency romances and love free books so much so that most of my Kindle books are borrowed or free (even if I've never gotten around to reading them yet). I don't even remember how I discovered the first book by Sally, but I was immediately a fan. I have, as cheap as I am, bought every single book of hers and will continue to preorder anything she puts up for sale on Amazon. And I always make sure to leave a good review.I love Sally's books. Her stories make me laugh out loud, make me fall in love with her characters, make me get teary eyed over the stories, and make me want to have words with people who leave her poor reviews. Her books are clean and well written and amazing. I am and will be a diehard Sally fan! Also, I've talked to her over Facebook Messenger too and she's amazing in real life.

Isaac’s story had a lot to live up to and it has definitely succeeded!
Inglewood has been such a great series, and I have been really looking forward to Isaac’s story. Isaac is a fan favorite with so many people. I felt that Isaac’s story had a lot to live up to and it has definitely succeeded!The first appearance of Isaac in this book reminds us of why we love him so much. I loved seeing Isaac open up and he has the best sense of humor. I wasn’t sure who I really pictured him with but Millie turns out to be perfect for him.“And the way Isaac stared at her, a depth in his eyes that nearly invited her in, offering to make her a part of something different—”Millie and Isaac’s meet-cute is so funny. I love a good meet-cute.“From the first moment I saw you, pretending you were a groundskeeper, I have thought you handsome, witty, and most infuriating.”Sally Britton has such a great flow to her writing and the books are always hard to put down. She also writes characters that really stay with you long after you finish reading.Lord Neil is one of those characters you don’t like at the beginning but than want to know more about. I was glad to hear that he will get his own story.This book can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading the entire series to really get to know the back story.

A stunning regency romance unlike others: A tale of 2 families, intrigue, deception, betrayal.
An exceptional Regency romance which does not rely on violence, profanity or overt sexuality to entertain. It does that in spades delving into the lives of the principles of the story. Millie's family has been shunned from polite society by her older sister's elopement. To get back into good graces she is coerced into some nefarious, underhanded activities by the haughty and powerful Marchioness Olivia. One of the targets of ruination is Sir Isaac Fox, just recently returned from the wars on the continent minus an arm and suffering with PTSD. It soon becomes apparent that a powerful romantic chemistry builds between the brooding baronet and Millicent. A tug of war develops in Millie's conscience as she desperately tries to succeed in her mission to take down Sir Isaac. The story line, the dialogue, the feud between the two neighboring country families makes this a scintillating, fascinating read. The snobbish cruelty of the ton is revealed. Highly recommended!

A touch of social blackmail and a romance
A social climbing mama places a daughter in a position of blackmail. A spoilt society woman wants revenge and choices a quiet young lady to be the instrument of revenge. A sad reflection on society then and now. Under it all though romance wins through. A good read, would read more from this aurthor

A very sweet romance
Nowadays when we download a romance book we have to look out for the description. This book is described as ‘sweet’. That means that there is no sex in it, just a good story. Some books have mild sex in them, some are graphic and some are straight out erotica or even BDSM. Quite frankly I’d rather a book like thiswhere you don’t need to flick through screen after screen to get back to the story.In this story the author says that Millie starts out as a villain. I must say that I never saw her as that; I saw her as a young lady who wanted, desperately, to help her parents regain their status in society and was willing to put up with being used if that was what it took. It didn’t take her long to realise that Lady Olivia was a nasty piece of work.Isaac, as a returned soldier, suffered from PTSD which wasn’t recognised at that time. He had also lost his arm in battle and was very over conscious about it.The story exposes the different standards existing in society at that time. Lady Olivia and her ilk were promiscuous and self important while Sir Isaac and his friends were honourable and kind to others regardless of their station.Millie’s journey of discovery makes the reader look at themselves and, hopefully, think that maybe they are not as badly off as they could be.An interesting story.
