This was a fun historical introduction to a group of heroines of King &Co starting with Tess Townsend.
Tess comes with an interesting back story that makes her role in the “ton” unique and gives her an element of freedom most women her age don’t have.
Justin unexpectedly comes into her life and I loved how these two connected and flourished. One of the pieces I appreciated here was the “nuggets” of truth buried in the tale Justin spun for himself.
While the story is told from a dual POV, it is primarily driven by Tess and her friends/partners. Ms Bateman used Tess well to highlight how women could easily be underestimated in thantime and how taking the time to get to know someone leads to deeper feelings that the first impression.
I am curious to see if her business partners will find romantic pairings as well!

Book 2 of the Osborn Brothers, focusing on previous secondary character Memphis. Timeline-wise, this connected stand alone takes place after Hunter’s book. We get to know more about Memphis and his place in the McKenzie world. He is paired with Diah, who has her own baggage and concerns.
I feel like there are two parts to this book. The Memphis/Diah budding friendship to more piece which was excellent and the intrigue story line. The Memphis/Diah was a winner and I really enjoyed these two together.
The intrigue story line (for me) relied a bit too much on previous storylines - including pulling in previous main characters that newer readers may not really know. These were nice tidbits for loyal readers, but may leave new followers a bit confused. This portion of the story line seemed to unfold almost at the last minute.
Overall, I found this book entertaining. I especially loved Tuff the dog! I am a bit curious if Remy has a story soon.
