The Captain's Daughter (London Beginnings, #1)

Hmmm . . . This was, unfortunately, a bit "meh."
Both of the MCs felt rather lacking to me, and while I wanted to like them, there was just something about them that rubbed me the wrong way. Nate was a perfect gentleman and so protective, which I loved, but at the same time, he was a bit mother-hen-ish. Rosalyn was sweet and innocent, but rather blind at times. I wanted to slap her upside the back of the head a few times. You'd think she'd be more on her guard after her past . . .
The story was very interesting and I loved the London setting. So beautiful! Delamere's writing style is very enjoyable and easily engrossed me in the story. The dialogue and descriptions felt very historically accurate, especially the dialogue. The dialogue, especially, can oftentimes sound very modern in some historical fiction, but not so with this one. The theatre theme was fascinating. The romance was very laidback, which I absolutely loved. The ending felt very sudden, and I wasn't exactly thrilled with how everything played out. (view spoiler)
Overall, this one was a bit of a disappointment, but I am still looking forward to reading book two. Hopefully, that one will be an improvement upon this one.
CONTENT NOTE: Recommended for ages 16+ for mature themes. (view spoiler)
