She went to … More ARC Review: Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon

As a fan of Jane Austen and Bridgerton, I was intrigued by the premise of A Spinster’s Guide to Danger and Dukes (even through it’s set in Victorian England and not the Regency period). This series definitely has Bridgerton vibes. The characters are similarly concerned with propriety and appearances. Poppy is concerned that she will … More ARC Review: A Spinster’s Guide to Danger and Dukes by Manda Collins
