Loved this book. I was really drawn into this storyline and often found myself still up at 2 AM reading to the next chapter. The characters were well scripted, believable. Yes, a love story, but also a rich story of womens’ passions in the arts and sciences. The author’s writing style was wonderfully descriptive, and totally had me hooked.

So, so good. Beautiful command of metaphor and start structure, almost impossible to put down but I did simply to stretch out my enjoyment. A window into the lives of regency women laboring in science and art under the shadow of men who stole their voices, discovery, and agency, without being heavy handed or distracting from the romance at the heart of the story. I look forward to more books by this author.

Well-grounded historic romance. I read this book through an interesting lens, because I was reading it in parallel with a how-to book on writing romance plots. And while I loved 90% of Lady’s Guide, the parts that clunked for me were all plot elements that the how-to book insisted were absolutely necessary plot elements in a romance. While that didn’t lessen my enjoyment of Waite’s book, it did lessen my inclination to take writing advice from the how-to book. This is a well-grounded historical romance between two women with unusual avocations: astronomical calculation and fine embroidery. In between we get an “undermine the patriarchy” plot, a sexy romance, and a fun last-minute twist. The requisite roadblocks to the romance center mostly around the characters’ pre-existing emotional damage, with a touch of disparity of economic status. The one that didn’t work for me was the last-minute fight/misunderstanding at a point in the plot where I felt an external conflict would have worked just as well (or even better) to move the plot where it needed to be. But the characters are engaging and the history, as I said, is solid – including the social context for women’s same-sex romantic experiences. Definitely recommended.

Passions: Personal & Profession!. In the pursuit of legitimatizing intellectual and creative passions, a romance blossoms between Astronomer Lucy Muchelney & Artist Lady Catherine, Countess of Moth. It is a well-written, captivating premise with very light sexy times tale. It speaks to me especially with the invisibility of women and minorities' intellectual prowess as the theme. An enjoyable and intriguing historical story.

Just Beautiful. I love this book so much!
