I really enjoyed this book. I was intrigued to learn about ballooning during the regency period which, I must admit, until this book, had not thought much about. It added a nice dimension to the love story because it was not something that I know much about. The logistics of the ballooning itself, as well as how a woman would be involved considering societies rules and fashion during that time, certainly kept my interest. And, of course, there was the love story of Cassandra and Geoffrey. I really liked that they were struggling with intimacy issues prior to marriage, which is also something that is not referred to very often in regencies where the characters are professing Christians. It made them both more human to me.

This is the second book in The Daughters of Bainbridge series. This book is a standalone book. I was introduced to this couple in the first book and I wasnt sure I would like them, but getting to know them in this book, I can tell you that I really enjoyed them, particularly Geoffrey. I liked this book better than the first one.
