Short but good.
At only about 100 pages, this is a quick read, a prequel to the series. We meet the main character Georgiana Whitcomb, Countess Winterbourne who is also known as the Ice Countess. She says she’ll never marry again, after her husband dies. Along with her friend, Lady Hildegard Templeton, they have created the Duchess Society to help young women make advantageous matches for themselves. Enter Dexter Munro, the future Duke of Markham, who has made a promise to his dying father to marry in less than 12 days, by Twelfth Night. This is a fun read with well-developed characters and a solid story. And a perfect lead into the next book in the series. I was given an ARC of the book by BookSirens, and this is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
