Of all the widows of Lyttlefield Park, Elizabeth Easton seems least likely to remarry. Though many gentlemen would love to get to know the charming Mrs. Easton better, she is devoted to the memory of her late husband Dickon. Which is why she’s so shocked to be overtaken by passion during a harvest festival, succumbing to an unforgettable interlude with the handsome Lord. Jemmy, Lord Brack, plans to defer matrimony in favour of carefree pleasure. However after a night of passion & despite their mutual desire, Elizabeth refuses to consider his proposal. This is the second book in the series but could well be read on its own, however the characters do overlap. I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the book & thought everything was straightforward but then past grievances started to make themselves known & the second half turned into a melodrama that at times really stretched my belief. The characters were well portrayed & whilst I liked Jemmy, Elizabeth annoyed me no end & several times I wanted to shake her, I also questioned her love of her twins, what type of mother forgets about her children for 2 days! I was interested enough to complete the book but whilst I will read the rest of the series I won’t reread this book My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Widow Elizabeth Easton seems very unlikely to marry again after the loss of her husband at Waterloo. But fate often takes a hand and in this case in the form of Jemmy, Lord Brack. Having suffered years in the war himself, he is only looking to remain carefree. But when he meets Elizabeth, all those thoughts quickly leave his mind. A mutual attraction erupts and Jemmy wants to marry the beautiful widow but she does not even want to consider his proposal. Can he change her mind? As things progress there are a few twist and turns that kept the story entertaining. Looking forward to the next installment in this delightful series.
