review 1: I've read three of this author's books, and I have a bit of a bone to pick. I think she struggles with setting. I don't mean she can't describe a cottage or grove. I mean I flip a page and start reading a conversation, thinking everyone is still in the spring house or whatever, and then I come to find out that, nope, they're at the village market. Maybe this is just my problem. There are some annoying typos in this book. Nothing HUGE, but... it's like when you have the final and penultimate drafts of a manuscript lying on your desk and you accidentally send the penultimate one to the printer. Oops. As for the story. There are some similarities between this one and The Soldier and The Heir. Burrowes seems to like her women as gardeners and bakers and straight-up damsels in ... moredistress. Valentine Windham is, as expected, charming and damaged and attractive as all hell. The story wasn't incredibly special. It could have been Gayle and Anna or Devlin and Emmie. I'll read more of this author's work, but I hope for some sparks of creativity.
review 2: Great plot, great series.This time it's Valentine's turn. He's the pianist who can't play who never developed any other skills. What is he to do?The hands need rest, total rest.But then he meets Ellen. She needs help, lots of it. He has time, kaboodles of it. They help each other and then Ellen's secret threatens to tear them apart.The Windham family weighs in with ducal splendor and all ends happily ever after. less
