5 of 5 starsCharles Battersea, Earl of Dalton, the last ducal heir refusing to give up his bachelor status, has been given no choice by his father. The duke named Dalton guardian to Miss Daisy Danworth and he must travel to the run down estate that is now part of the duke's holdings. He has met Miss Danworth before in London and liked her well-enough, but Dalton has steadfastly refused to ever consider marriage. What he doesn't expect is for Daisy to feel the same way. There is more going on at the estate than either of them realize and they soon are embroiled in a murder mystery. Can they protect each other or will they run afoul of some questionable men from Daisy's father's past?
I've read all the books in this series, but this one is my absolute favorite. The secondary characters especially Mrs. Broadbent and Bellamy were so entertaining, I laughed at their antics throughout the book. And of course there was The Wretch. Who doesn't love a cat? I loved the slow burn of Dalton's and Daisy's feelings on life and each other as they change and adapt. The mystery running through the book kept it suspenseful. While this is a stand alone story, I recommend reading all the books in the series to get the full story of the 6 ducal heirs who found love on their own terms.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
