Synopsis
Fans of Kristy Cambron, Stephanie Dray, and Julia Quinn will adore this Victorian romance from historical fiction dynamo, Rachel Brimble.
Seamstress Rose Watson cannot believe her good fortune when she’s plucked from obscurity to work for Lady Christina, the Countess of Bath. Despite her parents’ distrust that the position will come with conditions, Rose accepts the unexpected offer.
When she arrives at the royal residence of Henlow House, a strange sense of destiny whispers through her, and Rose cannot wait for this new adventure to begin. Although, she has Henry Ward to deal with, the handsome, risk-taking and—though she is loath to admit it—exciting royal saddler and horse trainer, who both fascinates and frustrates her in equal measure.
They could not be more different…with the exception of their hunger for more.
But as they begin to trust one another, and their bond flourishes, Rose’s connection with Henry could cause her to lose her position at Henlow House, which would destroy her. Will she be forced to choose between love and ambition? Either choice will change her life irrevocably.
A captivating escape that will touch your heart and keep you turning pages with impatient hope for Rose…

My Review
Dressing the Countess by Rachel Brimble
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed reading “Dressing the Countess”. The main characters, Rose & Henry were both engaging, and I found myself pulling for them both. There were a few parts where I felt the author was a bit heavy handed with the parents and parental figures, but it was not enough to distract from the story.
I was sad when the story ended because I wanted to learn more about the romance between Rose & Henry and I was interested in their individual stories as well. The author has left room for there to be a sequel. I am not usually a series lover, but I would welcome a follow-up book to Dressing the Countess.
Thanks for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
