Review_RmA

This is actually the first book I’ve had the pleasure of reading from Ms. LaCapra. Mrs. Sartin’s Secretary is book #1.5 of Ms. LaCapra’s newest series “Lords of Chance” with #2 “Heart’s Desire” coming out soon. That book will feature Lord Markham who played a role in this book.

Amelia and Matthew have known each other for over a decade. Matthew came to work for her husband George at the age of seventeen as his secretary. So when Amelia starts to recognize Matthew as the handsome man he is, she’s a little alarmed. As for Matthew, his feelings of esteem for Amelia has grown into something more. But being her employee holds him back.

I genuinely liked Amelia and Matthew and liked that Amelia was older than Matthew by ten years. It was a refreshing change from the usual storyline of the man being older than the woman. Amelia’s reluctance and fear of them as a couple was understandable. I felt they made a sweet couple and was rooting for them to find a way to overcome the obstacles between them. It was a great enjoyable read that I would definitely recommend!

I enjoyed Ms. LaCapra’s writing style and will definitely be adding her books to my future reading list!
