Rachael's Reviews > The Mysterious Mr. Marcellus

A sweet and clean novella. The FMC, Miss Helen Davenport, is a 22yo bluestocking who is beginning her 5th Season and supported by her doting father, aunt, & uncle. Helen meets the dashing (and fellow bookworm) Mr. Marcellus when she's helping a young footman with a broken arm. Helen & Mr. Marcellus bond over shared interests, morals, and priorities, but his true identity only comes to light at a major ball. Cue misunderstandings and an eventual HEA.

Writing style was engaging and entertaining. Being a novella (11 chapters), sometimes things skipped forward fast, but I found this book an enjoyable quick read for ppl who like Regency settings.
