Do you ever start reading a romance and expect it to be light and fluffy - but then the characters are developed so well, and the story feels so real that you're just blown away? That was this. Over and over again - I say - I love a man who will work hard, has an innate sense of gallantry, and dresses well. Then, to top it off with being a passionate soul?!

Not to mention - If I had been a Victorian-Era lady - I would have wanted to be someone like our heroine Evelyn. Pragmatic - but also a fiercely loyal friend and romantic where it counts.
Some of the more serious issues discussed throughout are the colonization of India by the British, r4cism, being from mixed heritage, bi-raci4l couples, and more. It's all discussed with such tact and so important to the story-line. I loved every moment!!
Overall, this series is a must-read! (They can also be read as standalones. I've read them out of order, and it caused no issue!)
OH MY FORKING GAH. This was everything I needed and then some!!!
The last 1/4 of this book made me sob and laugh, and I'll never be over it.

I don't think people understand what it's like to be the 'responsible sibling' unless you've been there.. or what it feels like to completely pivot your life choices and chase happiness over a career - but that's our two main characters in a nutshell. There wasn't a single moment where I didn't know that I loved both of these characters.
There was no whine-y angsty nonsense. Just two really good people figuring out how to make a life together with some hotter-than-sin schmex scenes along the way. This was everything. I need to order all three of these books just to have a comfort series!!
P.S. I shall be needing Kennedy and Isaiah's story ASAP.

If you ever watched the HBO Victorian era drama 'The Nevers' - The Lady is Trouble very much reminded me of that vibe. A fun read with enough depth to keep you entertained. ...more

I don't even know what to say. Ella Fields is fast approaching as one of my favorite fantasy auto-buy fantasy authors. There's not a single fantasy book she's written that I didn't love!
Not enough drama - but also, the 'hero' is kind of a manipulative alpha hole?
