If you aren’t up to date on the larger series, I still believe you can enjoy Eleanor and John’s romance for what it is at this point in the series – and you can always go back to the beginning if you so choose to get caught up. But then, I’ve read The Worthingtons up to this point… not every reader will have so there might be characters who simply don’t fit easily in this new world for them. Genre: Historical Romance, Regency RomanceĪlthough The Marriage List begins a trilogy sub-story within the larger Worthington world I did enjoy my time back with familiar faces and some new ones as well.
