Holy moly! This series just keeps getting better! I literally sat up until 4:30 a.m. just to see how this concluded and then I walked around like a zombie all day—it was well worth it! This author has a way with words that just pulls me into the story. I just can’t get enough of these characters!

There’s a bit of edge to these stories but of course, so tastefully done that no one could complain. In full disclosure, there’s mention of an affair that resulted in a child as well as a one of the ladies lamenting that she had given herself to someone before marriage. It is not explicit and thus, it is of my opinion that this is safe for teens. As a lot of parents follow my blogs to find appropriate literature for their teens—I felt the need to have a full disclosure there.

All in all, I love this book. I love this genre and I absolutely love this author’s writing. I really hope there is another installment in this series.

Cecily Faire has just arrived to serve as the lady’s maid to the mistress of Willowgrove Hall. It is there that she comes face to face to with the man who changed her life forever—and not in a good way.  Cecily was disowned by her father and she lost contact with her beloved twin sister at the age of sixteen—all due to a messy love affair with the prestigious Andrew Moreton.

Cecily had been sent to a school for girls, Rosemere and when it became time for her to leave, the mistress of Rosemere had set it up for her to become a lady’s maid to Mrs. Trent. Unbeknownst to Cecily at the time that Mrs. Trent is the grandmother to the dreadful Andrew Moreton.

When she arrives, not only is she appalled that Andrew is present at Willowgrove but she is fearful that the handsome steward of the Hall may never return her affections if he ever knew her dreadful secret.

Mr. Nathanial Stanton has his own secrets, however and the stuffy Mrs. Trent is determined to turn Cecily and everyone else that she can against him.

When Mrs. Trent passes, Cecily sets out to find her long-lost sister and Nathanial is determined to help her and also to win her heart.
