it was amazing
bookshelves: 2020, dianne-s-2020, galleys-arcs, to-recommendThis book is the prequel of the Wildes of Lidow Castle. Can it be read as a standalone? Most definitely, as this is how I read it. I have read some of Ms. James' books but haven't read any in this particular series. I loved this prequel so much that I will be buying and reading all the others in this series.
This was a fresh and delightful look at how widows and widowers of a particular station interact, deal with their sexuality, and fall in love. This book has a wonderful, emotional, and comedic storyline and is perfectly steamy without going overboard.
I can't wait to get my hands on the other books in The Wildes of Lindow Castle!
