Publisher's Summary

Is love worth the loss of one's freedom and independence? This is what Mrs. Tavernor must decide in the new novel in the Westcott series from New York Times best-selling author Mary Balogh.

When Harry Westcott lost the title earl of Riverdale after the discovery of his father's bigamy, he shipped off to fight in the Napoleonic Wars, where he was near-fatally wounded. After a harrowing recovery, the once cheery, lighthearted boy has become a reclusive, somber man. Though Harry insists he enjoys the solitude, he does wonder sometimes if he is lonely.

Lydia Tavernor, recently widowed, dreams of taking a lover. Her marriage to Reverend Isaiah Tavernor was one of service and obedience, and she has secretly enjoyed her freedom since his death. She doesn't want to shackle herself to another man in marriage, but sometimes, she wonders if she is lonely.

Both are unwilling to face the truth until they find themselves alone together one night, and Lydia surprises even herself with a simple question: "Are you ever lonely?" Harry's answer leads them down a path neither could ever have imagined....

Disappointing

The first long part of the novel is backstory. Although Mary Balogh rarely writes an unrelatable story, I really didn't expect that Harry's romance would be another. It's wrong and I can't really tell why. Heroine was unrelatable to, Story and end were predictable. I am so disappointed. Maybe I wanted too much or, maybe, the Westscott series should have ended with the previous book.

It was delightful!

I enjoyed the reviews of the family throughout the story, with a beautiful ending a love match.

A wonderful series

Mary Balogh writes wonderful romances …the characters are so lovable and the poignancy of her novels captures the reader in a wonderful escape in history. Rosalyn Landor is the perfect narrator, one of my favourites, as her performance of each character captures the writers words with humour and meaningful interactions. I loved the entire Westcott series …will there be another to follow? I hope so!
