Review:
A lovely historical with a feisty heroine and loving hero. I enjoyed the story line and how real the characters were. The grandmothers were a hoot. Edward was a love. I truly enjoyed his character as he was noble and fallible in turn. Amelia was a lively young lady who'd grown up adored and wanted to please her family, but not so much that she was willing to turn a blind eye to how her future would unfold if she didn't protest.
The bad guy eventually turned out not so bad at the end either! They were all truly just looking for love.
An enjoyable tale of love and a timeless celebration of Twelfth Night enchants as we meet The Twelfth Night Queen.
