Courting Miss Lancaster Review

Kindle displaying the cover of Courting Miss Lancaster by Sarah M. Eden, a historical romance novel, with a Regency-era woman in front of an old stone manor

He’s helping her find the perfect suitor—while hoping she never does.

Summary

Harry Windower adores blonde, green-eyes Athena Lancaster, but alas, a penniless man like himself has no hope of winning a young noblewoman's hand. To add insult to injury, Athena's brother-in-law and guardian, the Duke of Kielder, has asked Harry to assist Athena in finding a gentleman of her dreams. But the lovesick Harry is cunning as well: as the weeks pass, he introduces Athena to suitors who are horrifically boring, alarmingly attached to their mothers, downright rude, astoundingly self-absorbed, and utterly ridiculous.

Athena can't comprehend why she is having so little success meeting eligible and acceptable gentlemen. Indeed, her circle of admirers couldn't be be less admirable - nothing like the loyal, gentle friend she's found in Harry. But how long can Harry's scheme be hidden before it is discovered? And what will Athena do when she uncovers Harry's deception?

Evaluation

🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀/5

This book was so sweet—I absolutely adored it! Harry and Athena’s relationship had my whole heart from start to finish. I love how Harry quietly and selflessly loves her, knowing (or thinking) he can’t have her. And Adam’s reaction when he finds out his best friend is in love with his wife’s sister? Priceless. I was giggling more than once!

This series has been the perfect dose of Regency romance, full of heart, humor, and that warm fuzzy feeling. If you love tropes like brother’s best friend, best friend’s sister, and forbidden love (or so they think!), this one’s for you.
