Meh. It isn’t a memorable regency romance. But it does have some witty lines for the heroine Marianne.

The second time I've read this book (Edenbrooke) and the first time I've read the included novella. I enjoyed this more the second time. Really liked the characters and the romance was sweet.

What a wonderful time. I am truly blessed. I stayed up until 4am reading this book. It had be hooked from the very beginning, and I had a lovely time reading. I will certainly be checking out Donaldson’s other work.

Cute. Finally, a romance that I actually enjoyed this year! It's kiiind of insta-lovey considering everything takes place in the span of a couple weeks, but the denial and longing are there so it doesn't feel too rushed.  Marianne was a little too dense but I can excuse it on account of her being 17 and heavily insecure. I would have loved more detailed descriptions of Edenbrooke itself.
