Let me start out by saying that Shelbourne, if this book is read alone, is a perfect dark and brooding dreamboat alpha male with the heart of a poet. He even sheds tears. But I did feel like I was betraying Helena (his sister) by my easy infatuation with this man. I wish his transformation to the satisfying hero would have included him begging his sister for forgiveness for trying to push her into shackling herself to an odious lord. Oh well, nobody’s perfect.
Julianna is a strong, vibrant and passionate heroine who has managed to find her way even though she was raised by emotionally - and in the case of her mother, physically - absent parents. While I understood her devastation when she thought she witnessed betrayal, I find it harder to relate to someone who does not face a disappointment head-on. It is a testament to the strength of the author’s character development, writing skill, and the H and h’s compelling attraction to each other that I liked this book so well. Because the long, drawn out misunderstanding is one of my least favorite tropes, not just because it is frustrating, but it requires one or both characters to have a major personality flaw in my opinion.
It takes a very long time for the event that led to the separation of the H and h to be brought to light. A. Very. Long. Time. Without even the tertiary mention that has the accused party scratching their head in bewilderment. And even when a hint is given, the hero doesn’t seem to acknowledge it. Still, I liked this book best so far in the series.
I was surprised at how little interaction with other characters this book included, but I didn’t mind. It was weird we never saw Shelbourne’s parents given how much influence they wielded in the previous book. But good riddance to bad rubbish.
This book will be on my reread list.
