Donning a mask, Prim escapes to the infamous Vauxhall Gardens for one wild night.

the drama!!

the story line was one of the most amazing!! 10/10 absolutely one of the best books i’ve ever listened to!!

An adorable romance for young girls

I wasn't expecting much from this book, however it was a rather charming story. My 16 year old self would have adored it. It's a clean, funny, and enjoyable light read.

Adventures in Youth

Age and social levels were well written for characters and their behaviors. Super sweet & loving romance that did not focus on sex, but on real connection. Hero was someone truly noble, and Heroine was someone truly authentic. The mother was an unsympathetic foe, & yet both Hero & Heroine had this in common that they were virtually on their own - overlooked or ignored unless their parents or others wanted something from them. The sisterly affection was a bright spot. This was a tale youth who recognized the terrible-ness of the real world while they (together) captured some innocent magic.

enjoyable and diverting

performance was good. would have liked more interesting voices for males. all sounded like old men. Great entertainment nonetheless.

So cute! And that’s a compliment too.

This was a fun book. I generally don’t even glimpse twice at books whose tittles are plays on modern movies shows or sayings, they just irritate me. Nothing is worse in my mind. But I was on a Sophie Jordan kick and really adore listening to Moira Quirk so I made an impulse buy. I don’t regret it!
Yes, it was more or less predictable, but it was enjoyable!!! I wasn’t bored and I did a single sitting listen. That’s nice when it happens.

Creditworthy? Yep.
Heat factor? Non existent.
Narrator? Excellent

cute story

this was a very sweet story of romance and innocence and daring. I enjoyed it.

Gateway regency

At some point, girls go from tea parties to bodice rippers. This story skews closer to tea parties and is fit for teens, and maybe even tweens, of the Tay-Tay loving variety. Like the 80s movie, the heat in this never gets beyond sighs and kisses. As someone who has long since graduated to bodice ripper, this was too tame on all fronts. I longed for better plot, dialogue, and yes, bodice ripping.
