This series is one of my favorites. While reading this volume, I was staying in the hospital with a loved one who needed intense care for a few days. Even though the days were exhausting and challenging, this novel still made me laugh out loud and smile. Ms. Brower is amazing author who creates such credible characters.
Emma spends most of May obeying her aunt's bidding and showcasing her cousin Arabella's beauty and desirous state. Relief arrives in June when Emma, Niall, Hawkes, and the Duke of Islington escape to the Duke's beloved country estate, Stonecrop. While there Emma discovers how the Duke suffered heartache in his youth and also encounters Niall's dysfunctional family and how it has affected him.
Full of wit and humor yet addresses heart issues and the fall of man and its consequences.
**Highly, highly recommend. (but before handing to a teen-Niall becomes drunk, physical abuse/child abuse, some swearing, Niall does not desire to have a relationship with God, Emma cares more about the poetry Hawkes reads during his sermons than God's Word, Niall and Emma kiss a few times but it is not graphic/descriptive or sensual)
-Borrowed from the library.
