IF YOU KISSED ME is a short novella in the Farthingale series. It is best read after at least the first book in that series so that the characters are familiar. I recommend reading both MY FAIR LILY and THE DUKE I’M GOING TO MARRY before this novella to best appreciate it.

This is the story of Lady Evangeline Cameron, the granddaughter of a duke who is expected to marry well and the man who fascinates her, commoner Dr. George Farthingale. With the help of George’s nieces, Evie makes a play to have the proper doctor to kiss her. This is a sweet little story. Sometimes novellas feel rushed and incomplete. Not this one. The characters end up being well formed and their story has a nice arc to it. This is an unlikely couple as the story begins and perfect together by the end. The story is clever and turns expectations around several times. A sweet, light little story that brought a smile to my face.
