‘Worthy of Georgette Heyer…the most wonderfully satisfying five star Regency Romp’ Julie Caplin‘I don’t pretend to know the details of your private life, Miss Fairfax, but you might do better to embrace the fortunate position into which you were born, rather than regret the one that only exists between the covers of a novel’

Critics Review
-
"A Fantastic Regency Rom-Com!" Bridget Jones meets Jane Austin in this super-fun, rapid paced unputdownable regency drama. Having loved Kenney's YA dystopian trilogy I was keen to see what her latest novel would bring, and it most certainly didn't disappoint. Phoebe is everything you could want in a regency heroine: feisty, daring, brave and headstrong. Excited to read the next instalment of the Fairfax’s adventures.' Serena Molly, children's author
