The Ill-Kept Oath by C.C. Aune

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. My favorite thing in the world is when two amazing genres come together in a book. I love Regency England novels. Anything that takes me back to the world of Jane Austen is a winner in my opinion. Now,…
