3 of 5 stars
I haven't read any of the previous books in
this series so I'm not sure if that would have helped understand these
characters better, but I found this book dragged in places . It started out
well with the mystery of what happened to Edith Westacott in Bath and who she
was running from, but it didn't take long to uncover his identity. I liked
Colonel Niall Lowrie better. He was doing his best trying to run an earldom he
never expected to inherit in the first place. As a soldier, he knew his place
in the world, but as an Earl, he was clueless, but willing to learn as much as
he could in a short amount of time. He first comes across Edith when walking in
the woods. She lay in a faint and his first instinct is to help and protect
her. As his feelings grow for her, he tries hard to understand what she's so
afraid of as she reluctant to speak of it. There was some good tension filled
moments as the villain stalks Edith, but I thought his ending a little
unrealistic especially Edith's role in it.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
