But from the start, she knows his intentions are marriage. It depends on if one little kiss counts as improper. Nothing improper happens before vows are exchanged. If your objection with certain scenes is premarital or extramarital, then yes, this one is "clean" enough. There were so many scenes-so many-that just made me giddy. I definitely was cheering for him throughout. His story isn't necessarily straightforward, plenty of twists and turns. Give me a socially awkward or socially anxious heroine that panics with small talk, and you'll have me at hello. It is so refreshing to identify with heroines in romance novels. Perhaps because I identify with the heroine so much.

The Blue Castle is without a doubt one of my favorite, favorite, favorite romances by Montgomery. However, as the novel progressed, I soon picked up on something that thrilled me even more.the book was reminding me of The Blue Castle by L.M. This book gave off BEAUTY AND THE BEAST vibes, and I was all for it. I will definitely be going back to read the first book in the series. I had no idea it was the second in a series when I chose it for review. My thoughts: I love, love, love, love, LOVE, LOVE, crazy love this book. The discussion is real, and goes beyond the surface.

He is thinking of his three children-illegitimate though they may be in the eyes of society and the law. It isn't just that the estate isn't profitable. Why an heiress? Well, his estate is in shambles-literally and figuratively. He is in town looking for an heiress to marry. London life isn't exactly his cup of tea he much prefers life in YORKSHIRE on his estate (run down though it may be).

Julia sometimes doesn't fight against this notion-if being "ill" equals more time in her room reading the latest book. Her parents play up (or perhaps that was just my perception?) their illnesses. What can I say about Julia? Well, she's socially anxious, prefers books to people, and she happens to be an heiress. Premise/plot: Julia Wychwood is the heroine of Mimi Matthews' The Belle of Belgrave Square. įirst sentence: Julia Wychwood was alone in Rotten Row, and that was exactly the way she liked it.
