![]() It was well-written without being too spicy or smutty and seemed a natural part of the characters’ connection. ![]() With her parent's marriage declared bigamous, Camille Westcott is now illegitimate and without a title. Yes, being a romance novel, there is some sex in this one. New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh's new Wescott series continues as a young woman deals with her father's death and a reversal of fortune. While Joel’s surprise inheritance seemed a bit forced and unnecessary, I was pleased with how he and Camille were able to stop circling around each other and finally come to terms with what their relationship was truly about. ![]() ![]() Not only does our hero need to crack her shell, but the reader is on that same journey with him, trying to decide if she’s worth the effort. She shuns well-meaning offers of friendship and sisterhood, preferring to spend her time working out her own problems in her head and (let’s face it) making life harder for herself than it needs to be. Throughout all of the previous book and a large portion of this one, our heroine is unlikeable. ![]() I know that there’s a lot of this type of book on the market right now and, admittedly, Ms. I am loving this series so far! This book, number two of the series, is right down my historical-fiction-romance alley. ![]()
