A Lady of Conscience by Mimi Matthews

 

A Lady of Conscience by Mimi Matthews  is a delight and is the fifth in her Somerset Stories and continues the stories of the Heywood and Beesford families. Hannah Heywood is having her debut season in Bath as she is looking of a quiet like-minded gentleman who loves animals. James Beesford, Viscount St. Clare is a very serious man who is looking to find someone who will uphold the family name and mingle in high society. Would they be a good match?

There is nothing like stepping into a Mimi Mathews book and slipping away into the world she has created. I adored my time in Bath during the Victorian age catching up with everyone from the Somerset Series. I enjoyed watching James and Hannah’s interactions with each other, their wonderful chemistry, and meeting many wonderful animals. They were both such interesting characters. I read this delightful story in 24 hours and wished it would not have ended.

This was a beautiful clean romance with engaging characters, a wonderful setting, and a story to get lost in. I highly recommend A Lady of Conscience by Mimi Matthews.

I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review. This publishes 7/30
