I believe this is the third in the series of a group of women who all feel on some kind of hard times that ended up living together helping to run a business called the "rarest blooms". (I think that was meant to have a double meaning :)
This was not my favorite of the series. The heroine (Cecelia)'s mother was a former mistress of several distinguished gentlemen of the ton. When the her death makes the information common knowledge to all, she is forced to face a life tarnished by her mother's reputation.
The story lacked somthing. I felt as if the fact that she was succombing to an injustice took primary concern over the relationship and romance.
The hero, although good natured, didn't spark anything for me. They did end up happily ever after so it ended well.
I will say, however, I am looking forward to the next book in the series, as the familiar character of Castleford is going to be featured. I'm hoping for some of the mysteries surrounding him to be revealed.
