My Review:
“Underestimating Miss Cecilia" by Carolyn Miller has house parties, history and romance! Also present are some very original and likable main characters. I love Cecilia as she is a romantic, loves to write in her journal and read books. She is outwardly shy, but throughout the book we see her come out of her shell a bit. The hero, Ned, is a prodigal who is so sweet and compassionate. I love how the main characters both feel strongly about social justice and about Christ.
This story is also very interesting, as I learned a lot about the court systems of the early 1800s day and the prejudices, especially against the Irish and gypsies. I love that there is a house party! It was fascinating to learn all of the parlor games that were popular during this period.
Overall, this book has great characters and a lot of fun history! At times I found it a little slow, but the pace always picked up soon afterward. I would recommend it to lovers of history, Regencies and romance!
Content: This is a clean read. I would rate it PG. Examples of the content are: people drink alcohol; a man gambled and drank in his past.
Rating: I give this book 4 stars.
I want to thank Carolyn Miller and Kregal Publications for the complimentary copy of this book for review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I express in this review are my own. This is in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s CFR 16, Part 255.
