Nearly a Lady by Alissa Johnson

4.0

I liked this! I mean, I didn't get super invested in the romance, but I liked both the main characters, and it was just a pleasant read. I loved how after he kisses her the first time, he's all angsty because he knows he shouldn't have kissed her, and she's just like, "Ok, but we're going to keep kissing, right?" and doesn't care about possibly damaging her reputation. I also adored Winnefred's friendship with Lily (and I really, really wish we had gotten to see more of Lily's romance; I wish she had gotten her own book, really) and how she was so grateful to Gideon for buying Lily a dress and didn't even care if he had bought her one as well. I could've done with less angsting from him at the end about how he didn't want to get married because of his tragic backstory or whatever, but otherwise this was really enjoyable!
