About the Book:

Cara Bernay has never fit in. At loose ends in 1881 London after a near tragedy costs her a job, she befriends a rising young artist. With his help, she begins planning a new life and developing her own artistic talent. But soon Cara finds herself at odds with the artist's brother—a handsome but serious-minded earl who wants to force his brother back to a "respectable" life.

Henry Burke, the Earl of Morestowe, feels the weight of growing financial burdens. His profligate and emotionally unstable brother is making matters worse, and Henry needs him back home. Despite misgivings about Cara's mysterious background, Henry sees she's a positive influence on his brother and on Henry's unruly young ward, and he strikes a deal with her to return with them to their estate.

But the family has their own secrets, and when Cara, drawn ever closer to Henry, stumbles onto the truth, she must choose between following her heart and pursuing a bold plan that could bring disaster.

 


My Rating & Thoughts:    


Thankfully this one picked up right where book 2 left off and provided answers to where we were left hanging very quickly. I was very suspicious that Lantham was up to no good when Cora first meet him, but he showed me I was wrong. Two things endeared Henry to me, 1. he could see Cora's good heart without even knowing much about her, 2. he went against society rules of the day to help Amelia. Being a lover of horses I especially enjoyed the riding lessons. I enjoyed these characters and feel like this book provided a nice ending to the series.

(I purchased my copy of this book; opinions expressed 
in this review are my honest opinion and completely my own.)
