My Review - 5 of 5 stars -
One Good Wager Leads to Another - 5 stars - I loved Thisbe. She was intelligent and brave for being on her own. She felt the oddness of the housekeeper but was still willing to keep her employed. Gervaise was quite a prankster but became very protective of Thisbe. I enjoyed it.
My Gift to You - 5 stars - This was a chance for Gaby and Leo to truly figure out their feelings for each other. There were misunderstanding surrounding their marriage, and trust needed to be strengthened.
Falling into You - 4 stars - This is another opportunity for a reunion. Milton left Josephine but returned for a second chance. He did grovel to show he truly loved her.
Sir Westcott Steals a Heart - 4 stars - Smuggling and family featured in this story. Sybil was unusual as tall as she was, catching Wes's attention. He wanted to protect her and her brothers.
A Duke in Peril -5 stars - Florence found and took care of James when she came upon him, though misunderstanding stood between them. James wanted to keep his identity secret to keep everyone safe.
Stolen Kisses - 4 stars - In the past, Lance accidentally ruined Emma before heading off to war. Emma never got over it, but I loved how she remained strong, planning on staying single. Lance worked for her love, even making a similar mistake to prove himself.
Charred Hope - 5 stars - This one touched my heart. Titus ended up locating Tessa to return a locket that her late husband had left behind. He was reluctant to carry out the task but was glad he did. Tessa was strong to continue her life, scraping a life together. Love pulled them together.
Love by Moonlight - 5 stars - Highwaymen and a vicar's daughter come together. Robin was so determined to help injured parties. After spending time with Robin, Rachel began to suspect a dual life.
Forever and Always - 5 stars - Fontus and Dee began with a secret marriage of convenience in France and then separated. Now danger and parental expectations force these two to consider staying together and admitting the truth or not.
A Bend in the Road - 4 stars - This story was about Justin and Felicity, both mentioned in Robin's story, who had previous feelings for each other. I was glad to see how their story progressed. Felicity was outspoken and determined to not marry the wrong man. Justin had his secrets and doubts that he could be the right man for her.
Throughout all the stories were hints and actions of the Bow Street Runner searching for the female highway robber and Captain Moonlight. At one point, I sort of lost the timeline of all the stories since they all weaved, but I truly enjoyed this collection.
