Freya Sampson, the woman you are! I am in awe of your writing, how you create these stories and how you bring them alive.

This story was so magical, so unique, and cozy that I couldn’t take my eyes away from my Kindle. The writing, as well as the plot, were so well done I just know this is the type of book I’ll revisit again and again. SO GOOD.

Charming, tender, and emotionally grounded, Most Ardently Yours blends romance with thoughtful exploration of grief, hope, and second chances. Sampson’s writing is gentle yet engaging, creating characters that feel sincere and easy to root for. The romance builds naturally, making this a heartfelt read for fans of slow-burn love stories with warmth and wit.

One of my favorites of the year! Jane Austen, time travel, love….what more can I want? Zoe ends up bringing Mr. Darcy alive and she doesn’t want to send him back, but if she doesn’t she risks losing Pride and Prejudice forever. Nick is the bookseller that she butts heads with but is the only one that can help. Love this story so much. It’s exactly what I want from romance.
