The Belle of Belgrave Square Review
“You’re in my bedchamber, Captain Blunt. My name is Julia.”
Julia was the most mysterious of Evie’s friends in The Siren of Sussex, and I am so glad that she got the next part in the story. Her anxiety and self-esteem issues are perfect reminders of how toxic parents can be sometimes. But, the way Julia overcomes these obstacles with the help of Captain Blunt is exceptional.
I will even admit that when one of the big reveals came to light, I gasped out loud and had to put the book aside for a bit until I could calm my racing heart. The secret was so big that I needed a moment to wrap my head around it. I guessed only a small bit of the mystery, but when I found out, my breath caught in my chest.
I am happy to award The Belle of Belgrave Square a full 5 out of 5 stars. This one is just fantastic and I can’t wait for the next story. I hope it’s Anne’s turn!
