Publisher's summary

Once the Countess of Riverdale, Viola Kingsley throws all caution to the wind when adventure calls in the form of a handsome aristocrat....

Two years after the death of the Earl of Riverdale, his family has overcome the shame of being stripped of their titles and fortune - except for his onetime countess, Viola. With her children grown and herself no longer part of the social whirl of the ton, she is uncertain where to look for happiness - until quite by accident her path crosses once again with that of the Marquess of Dorchester, Marcel Lamarr.

Marcel Lamarr has been a notorious womanizer since the death of his wife nearly 20 years earlier. Viola caught his eye when she herself was a young mother, but she evaded his seduction at the time. A prize that eluded him before, she is all the more irresistible to him now although he is surprised to discover that she is as eager now for the excitement he offers as he is himself.

When the two defy convention and run away together, they discover that the ties of respectability are not so easily severed, and pleasure can ensnare you when you least expect it....

Needed time to get to like the main characters.

The hero is shallow and hard to like when the story begins. It took about four chapters to warm to him. The poor heroin has been through enough from her first husband that you wonder what she sees in Marcel.

Great series

Have enjoyed the story of each family member so far. I will continue until last book.

Always great!

Love all about this author, the story & narration! Sweet story of love later in life!

Disappointed

I have been enjoying this series until this book. First half was great but with the miscommunication between the main characters that stretched on for chapters, the second half dragged.

Another great love story by Many Balogh

I just can say that I love the Wescot series so much!!
And the performance of Rosalyn Landor is perfect!!

It’s a great series

Needed to get accustomed to the accents, but thoroughly enjoyed each book so far. The characters are relatable even though the setting is turn of the century… I love it

Survivors meet the Hathaways ( Lisa Kleypas)

Survivors meet the Hathaways ( Lisa Kleypas). I am thoroughly enjoying this Westcott series. Balogh explores the trauma and healing as in the Survivor series and marries it to the a tactful and endearing humor of large families reminiscent of the Hathaways. As always, her skill of designing romance and coupling with believable couples with real conversations is superb.

Series keeps getting better and better

While I have a few definite favorites, I invariably find each one of Mary Balogh's books better than the last. This is the fourth volume of the Westcott series, and while familiarity with secondary characters is nice, it is by no means necessary to enjoy this wonderful addition. Suffice it to say that the book concerns a middle-aged woman at a crossroad in her life, feeling that much of what has come before amounted to less than she would have hoped or expected, and much of what lies ahead is unexciting at best. The backdrop for this particular story is bucolic England in the early 1800s, but Viola's disenchantment with her circumstances translates to almost any era or locale. (Because what mother hasn't felt like a discarded towel at some point in her life?) But then she meets that man, the one who long ago looked so appealing, and Mary Balogh's magic begins its work yet again. It just so happens that I read this book in December, and while it is NOT a Christmas story, there is, nonetheless, a delightful Christmas episode near the end of the book that contributes to the overall joyful resolution.

Wonderfully Sweet Romance

I adore Mary Balogh and Rosalyn Landor brings the tale to life in a beautiful way. This was a sweet story that will leave you with the warm fuzzy feeling all good stories leave in their wake.
