Series: The Heart of Bath #2
Author: Jenny Worstall
Published September 13th 2024 by Dragonblade Publishing, Inc.
Goodreads Synopsis
A sparkling romance set in Regency Bath...
Strong-willed, vivacious and impulsive, Selina Templeton is determined to break free from the narrow confines of her life. She is happiest when eavesdropping at doors, or standing on the roof of Number 1 Royal Crescent dreaming of how she could change the world. Perhaps she might reform the prisons, or abolish slavery?
George Fitzgerald is a good friend of Selina’s brother, Henry. Clever and gentle, he is training to be a medical doctor, and is happiest in the company of his beloved horse, Trigger. He has worshipped Selina from afar for many a year, too shy to declare himself. Will he ever pluck up the courage?
When George and Selina are seated next to each other at a dinner party, hopes for the perfect romance to blossom are high – but despite an initial physical attraction, Selina judges George to be both dull and conceited. What could she possibly have in common with someone this tedious? And George persists in his belief that he has no hope of capturing the heart of the goddess-like Selina.
Will love find a way to break through, before a mysterious enemy takes his revenge?

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
Miss Selina Templeton has never been content in her sheltered life, and wishes for more. She wants to help change the world, but as a single woman in Regency era Bath, there's little she can do. But perhaps her brother's best friend and doctor in training, George Fitzgerald, could help? Selina has always cared for George, but she's starting to see him in a new light. Can George convince her that he's not dull and boring, but rather shy around the woman he loves?
As soon as I finished Lost and Found I couldn't wait to read Selina and George's book. They had such chemistry at the end of book 1 that it was clear they were made to be together, but the path to true love never did run smoothly. There's mystery and intrigue, and quite a bit of miscommunication before they could possibly have the romance they deserved. Seeing Henry and Kitty again, and learning more about Edmund - the hero of book 3 - was fantastic. I'm not overly in love with the writing style of this series, but the stories are enjoyable enough, and well worth a read.
