![]() ![]() Lord Devlin Cader, Earl of Alverton, married Therese Cynster five years ago. A nobleman wedded to the lady he loves strives to overwrite five years of masterful pretence and open his wifes eyes to the fact that he loves her as much as she loves him. Book Synopsis #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens returns to the Cynsters next generation with an evocative tale of two people striving to overcome unusual hurdles in order to claim true love. But if you are in the mood for a good romance on its own, this is a good book for you.About the Book A nobleman wedded to the lady he loves strives to overwrite five years of masterful pretence and open his wifes eyes to the fact that he loves her as much as she loves him. I do hope Stephanie Laurens will do more Lady Osbaldeston‘s Christmas chronicle books – they are delightful. The author gets a little repetitive sometimes (“she arched her brow“- lots of brow arching all the way through!) but again, did not diminish my enjoyment. ![]() I agree that there probably were a few too many murder attempts to be believable, but it did not diminish my enjoyment of this book. Both follow their hearts but think very clearly about love and its meaning in their lives. Melissa is a strong woman in her own right, and the Earl is ahead of his time in his thinking about women. Once I settled into it being its own book, I found both main characters to be wonderful. That being said, I enjoyed this very much. Bought this one thinking it would be another easy Christmas book, but quickly realized this one may be connected due to the two main characters, but was not at all part of that series. Those stories are fun and easy and just what I want to listen to at Christmas time. Not part of the Christmas Chronicles, but a good book on its own.Īs a previous reviewer said, I was surprised that this book is not truly part of the Christmas Chronicles. Through a whirlwind courtship, a massive ton wedding, and finally, blissful country peace, they fend off increasingly dangerous, potentially lethal threats, until, together, they unravel the conspiracy that has dogged their heels and expose the villain behind it all. However, it’s soon apparent that someone is intent on ensuring their married life is cut short in deadly fashion. Consequently, he is not averse to the path fate seems to be steering them down.Īnd, indeed, as they discover, enforced separation has made their hearts grow fonder, and the attraction between them flares even more intensely. ![]() He had assumed that, by now, Melissa would be married to someone else, but apparently not. Now, having inherited the earldom, he must marry and is determined to choose his own bride. Within 24 hours, she and Julian are the newly engaged toast of the ton. She seizes the first chance that offers to flee, only to discover that she has jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Then she sees Julian across a crowded ballroom, and he sees her, and the intensity of their connection shocks her. Unfortunately, during the intervening years, she has failed to find any suitable suitor who measures up to her mark, and she is resigned to ending her days an old maid. Melissa North had assumed that after eight years of not setting eyes on each other, her youthful attraction to - or an infatuation with - Julian Delamere, once Viscount Dagenham and now earl of Carsely, would have faded to nothing and gasped its last. ![]() What happens when a love left behind doesn’t die? ![]()
