4 1830 - The Last First Kiss by Kate Noble

WHY DID I PICK THIS ONE?
I spotted this as a freebie in 2015. I love Regency and Victorian Romances and I had read Shana Galen's books and wanted to read the others so even if it hadn't been free, I would have probably bought it. However, it was free and I one-clicked quickly. I didn't notice that the Shana Galen story was part of the very same series I first enjoyed by her until I was typing this up. I need that story and this isn't a long anthology so I will probably keep right on reading through the others. Seriously, why do I wait on so many books on my shelf?
