Philippa Holds Court by Jennie Goutet



Philippa Holds Court by Jennie Goutet is the second book in the Clavering Chronicles, and is a stand alone Regency novel.   Philippa, our heroine, is a vibrant person whose intellect and skills I found endearing.  Our hero, Jack, juggles so much in his life that love has yet to come into the picture. I wanted to jump in the story and meet them both. 

This was a fascinating Regency story as it involved the attempt at repealing the corn laws in 1819, and  gave you a glimpse into the workings of the British Parliament.  Jennie Goutet research provided an excellent backdrop for a fantastic story. 


Philippa Holds Court has wonderful romance, personable characters, interesting backstory, and is a true joy to read!  As a lover of all things Regency I am thrilled to add Philippa Holds Court to my Regency Library.   I highly recommend it.
