People who review books on Instagram keep mentioning this series, so I was intrigued. And it finally came through on my request at the library! Whohoo!! When I picked it up, the librarian asked me if it was my first time reading this series, and when I told her yes, she warned me that the first couple of books are a little slow and require patience, but that they get better as the series goes on. I believe there are seven books in the series, and I could buy the set on Amazon for $114.00, but don't plan on that at this juncture.
However, I do have a problem because waiting so long between volumes is hard because I forget the characters and details...and won't have the former books to refer back to if I keep reading them as they become available at the library. What a problem, huh?!
BUT...this first book was so delightful, I'm tempted, sorely tempted to buy the series. Maybe I will. It's clean, it's very witty, and it has cute characters. I love the heroine and her attitude. Of course I love all things British...so this fits right in. And the time period, the late 1800s is a good one too...I may have to cave on this one. I would definitely go for it if it weren't such an obvious marketing ploy to have each book be so SHORT! The first volume was a little over a hundred pages and didn't even last me for two legs of my flights to Indiana! When I got there, Sierra told me she has listened to the series and really enjoyed it too. At the moment, I have a request in for Volume II at the Washington County Library so we'll see how long it takes for that to come in...
