I finished this book in two days, it was so good! The second book in this series by Vivienne Lorret started off fun but went off the rails a little at the end. This book, however, was perfection from start to finish! Althea is such a fun and intrepid heroine and I didn't ever want to leave her life. I would happily follow her journey and her happily ever after for years to come -that's how entertaining she is! I loved Jasper as well. We don't get a lot of sweet, shy heroes often in historical romance and Jasper was such a breath of fresh air. Despite the fact that his "bumbling" persona was an act, he really turned to mush around Thea and it made him so endearing and sweet. I just want more more more of them! I know we've now covered all the Hartley sisters' stories but I hope this isn't the last from this series, because Lorret has created such a fun world in these books. I want to know everything about this delightful cast of characters. I think a novella (or more) is in order for Tally and Mr. Lawson and Tempest and Raintree. I also want to see Truman Hartley find his HEA and I'm still wondering what will become of Anna! I'm a huge fan of Vivienne Lorret's work and the way she always creates such fun and endearing groups of people in all her series. I'm not ready to say goodbye to the Hartleys yet, but I'm looking forward to whatever Lorret does next!

Loved this story really reminded me of a enemies to lovers trope and I love it about a highway man, I love how he made her paper flowers it was so romantic in the story and she actually loved them. He ruined not one but two of her gowns and wanted to say sorry for them by making those paper flowers. She believes there are story about a highwayman and little does she know who this highway man is and when she finds out he stole her heart. This was definitely a romantic story and I couldn't put it down!
