(This review was commissioned by Harper Collins.)
Historical romances are not usually my jam; they are a bit too formal and stuffy for my taste and reflect a bygone time of judgment and views that are best left in the patriarchal past.
That being said this was enjoyable in a way that those other stories often aren’t; a heroine with strong female friendships (Eliza and her relationship with her sister Hollis is refreshingly pure and supportive and strong) and an even stronger and refreshingly forthright personality, not a character whose ultimate end game is happily ever after and who is flat in every other way during that pursuit.
A fun, fluffy ride for those who enjoy a romantic blast into the past.

Nothing gets London’s high society’s tongues wagging like a good scandal. And when the personal secretary of the visiting Prince Sebastian of Alucia is found murdered, it’s all anyone can talk about, including Eliza Tricklebank. Her unapologetic gossip gazette has benefitted from an anonymous tip about the crime, prompting Sebastian to take an interest in playing detective—and an even greater one in Eliza.
With a trade deal on the line and mounting pressure to secure a noble bride, there’s nothing more salacious than a prince dallying with a commoner. Sebastian finds Eliza’s contrary manner as frustrating as it is seductive, but they’ll have to work together if they’re going to catch the culprit. And when things heat up behind closed doors, it’s the prince who’ll have to decide what comes first—his country or his heart.
