My Review:

With Highcliffe House, I have officially read all of Megan Walker's Proper Romance books, and I am SO sad there are not currently any more.

I did not like Anna Lane at first. I thought she was spoiled and entitled. But, as we get to know her, I understood where she was coming from.

I loved Graham from the beginning. And the more we got to know him and his circumstances the more I loved him, and his family.

This story was so much fun. It is incredibly well-written, with plenty of humorous moments. Not only did I grow to like Anna, but she also gained my respect, and I was cheering hard for her and Graham to get their happily ever after. 

This story is different from your normal Regency romance. We did not see the ton, nor are either of these two titled. It was refreshing, and seriously, just a great story.

★★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):   

Love ignites when two rivals vie to secure a possible fortune at the seaside town of Brighton.

Brighton, England, 1813

When a romantic entanglement leaves her humiliated and reeling, Anna Lane wants nothing more than for her father to whisk her away from the gossip of the ton. Unfortunately, he has obligations elsewhere, leaving her stuck in London.

Graham Everett’s financial security depends on an investment with Mr. Lane, his long-time friend and business partner. He’ll do just about anything to secure it for his family, even if it means fighting spoiled, embittered Anna for her father’s attention.

Luckily, Mr. Lane concocts a plan that will give everyone what they wat, with one stipulation: Anna must accompany Graham to Brighton in her father’s stead and make a decision to invest—or not—based on a thorough report.

But it will take more than a day at the beach for these two headstrong hearts to admit that they’ve been wrong about each other. If they are willing to invest a little time working out their differences, they might have a chance at real love.
