MY THOUGHTS
This is a fun series but there are some things that I didn't care for.  Once you find that  special one, sleeping around with woman after woman doesn't say much for Lord Lawrence.  I know he's supposedly the catch of the day but come on.   Anyway, I found it rather unnecessary and yet necessary for Rosamund to dress and act as a man.  She wants to continue her father's practice and that career is absolutely not allowed to women.   But in doing so, she has Lord Lawrence thinking she's a man.  Time lost that could have been getting to know each other and possibly falling in love.    I have to give it to the author.  She does give you different options to explore.   I think I would have preferred Rosamund being herself instead of pretending to be a man.   But that may have changed the course of the story.  Lord Lawrence and Rosamund seemed to belong to each other.  They each held their own and stood tall in the courtroom.  Actually she was better than him.   Then we have another possible side to Ross Carrow, aka Rosamund. She or he is guessing his or hers own sexuality.    She is  having a good time being a woman when it suits her and being a man when the time is appropriate. But when Lord Lawrence and Rosamund fall for each other, they fall hard and soon are in each other's arms.  Soon decisions will have to be made.  Will something happen to send Rosamund away?   Will they struggle through the blocks and come away with each other? 

The author gives the reader the feel that you are back in the time.  You are taken back when love was love and it wasn't just a fling.  It was forever. It was a time when being a "flower" was the way it should have been until you were in love and marriage was on the horizon.  The characters are likable most of the time, but true to life, you don't always like someone all the time.  The author gives a story that will warm your heart and soul and adds a little fun along the way. An enjoyable and fun read.
