Lakeshire Park

Lakeshire Park
by Megan Walker 
Shadow Mountain, 2020. 312 pages. Romance 

Amelia Moore needs to secure her sister's engagement to Sir Ronald or else the two sisters will be left destitute. The only problem is that Peter Wood has the same goal for his own sister. Amelia and Peter begin a rivalry--one that Amelia has no choice but to win--but competing against Peter makes Amelia vulnerable to losing the only thing she has left to claim--her heart. 

One aspect that I loved about this book is that even though the two main characters, Amelia and Peter, are rivals they don’t always act like rivals and instead have witty conversations between each other and have some amusing adventures together as they both try to help their sisters. The story moves at moderate pace with very few slow moments. All in all, I devoured the book in a couple of days.

So, when she unexpectedly summons him to London, he surprises himself by going, and finds his life turned upside down in ways he never thought possible. 

To loathe and to perish...Katherine despises her worthless and irritating husband, and nothing bothers her more than the fact that he actually came to London when she sent for him.
