Phoebe, Lady Clare, is just coming out of two years of mourning when she attends her brother's wedding. There she meets her late husband's nemesis, Weston Ravenel. Phoebe is prepared to dislike him. West bullied Henry while they both attended Eton. But the man she meets is nothing like the guy who Henry described. West is warm, utterly charming, and quickly makes friends with Phoebe's two sons. In the few days leading up to the wedding, West talks to Phoebe about his job as Estate Manager at Eversby Priory. She begins to understand that changes need to be made at her home in order for her son to inherit a viable estate with his title when he comes of age. Needing assistance with this endeavor, Phoebe turns to West for help.
As we've come to know the character of West Ravenel while reading this series, I couldn't wait till he got his own book. Well, I certainly wasn't disappointed. West proves that he has changed drastically from the drunken, debauched rake we were introduced to in the first book. West threw himself into the job of estate manager to help his brother. He learned how the farms worked and what technology would benefit the tenants and aid in working the land. He became a friend to the tenants who were living in homes badly in need of renovations. I really wanted to see him have a "happily ever after".
Phoebe was the right woman for West. She is the daughter of Sebastian & Evie (Devil in Winter). While mourning her husband, she let the running of her husband's estate up to his cousin. Now she realizes that she should have had a hand in the process and needs to take control of the estate...and her life. Phoebe sees West as her equal, but he knows she is well above him in station and his past could hurt her and the boys.
I just loved this story. Not only did I like the main characters, but we got to see more of Sebastian and Evie, and even got a quick visit with The Wallflowers. I highly recommend. My rating: 5 Stars.
