The Makings of a Lady Reviews

3.0
“I enjoyed this book! I love the writing style and the sweet characters. It did get a bit too fluffy for me here and there, but it’s a nice comforting story (although it made me nervous at times, too”
“refound love A few years ago Lady Olivia Fanton helped Captain Jem Ford get back to health only for him to run away to Australia. She thought she loved him and now he's back and she's not sure how to react. Meanwhile a neighbour has a visitor, Mr Manning who is flattering her and making her feel wanted. She's not sure who she wants, she felt betrayed when Jem left but she still can't resist him. When she's kidnapped everything changes. Charming and fun I enjoyed the ride.”
