Daria Mullins just accomplished the seemingly impossible: she successfully convinced her parents to grant her one final London Season. Though their concession comes with certain expectations, Daria is determined to enjoy every moment alongside her dear friends, the Huntresses, as they make their annual foray into the Marriage Mart.
Toss Comstock has no interest in marriage. His only purpose in London is to enjoy his Bachelor Season before he’s forced to follow whatever path his elder brother deems best. But his plans are quickly turned upside down when he strikes a bargain with the lovely Miss Mullins at the Debenham Ball. The longtime acquaintances discover that they share the maddening affliction of familial pressures, leading them to hatch an outlandish scheme: they will engage in a friendly competition. Whoever participates in the most activities their family would disapprove of will be crowned the winner. But amid the fun and games, Daria and Toss never imagined that true love would become the ultimate prize.
Book Review:
I think this might be my favorite Huntresses book yet! I loved Toss and Daria together, and it was so fun to see all of the Huntresses and Gents again.
I felt for Daria from the beginning. She’s a bit of a different heroine than Eden’s other book, and I really felt for her as she navigated her family’s criticisms. Daria’s enthusiasm and joy in life was so fun to read about and I love how Toss encouraged that part of her. He never made her feel less than like her family did. I was really frustrated with Daria’s family in this story, but it was sweet to see the found family who did support her. The Gents are back again! This series feels like the perfect continuation of the Gent’s stories, and I love the parallels that continue to play out. The Easter eggs and cameos are one of my favorite parts.
Poor Toss didn’t have an easy road either. His brother was desperately trying to control his every move, and Toss didn’t know how to break free. I felt for him as well as he tried to fight for his happily ever after with Daria. I love how the Pack and the Huntresses are always willing to lend a hand. Their banter is one of my favorite things.
I love this series! This is another wonderful addition, and it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys clean, Regency romance. I would personally recommend reading all of the connected series first because it makes this book a lot more fun.
