I do adore how supportive the whole Westcott family is of Viola and her children. Another contributing factor was Marcel’s lame excuse for abandoning his family. It was only fair, as Marcel has been quite selfish throughout his life, not taking into account the POVs of others.

I do have to confess that I rather enjoyed Marcel not coming out on top in this. It was much too obvious and annoying, a contributing factor to the score of “4”.

Naturally, we have to have the miscommunication meme. And yet, Viola, Bertrand and Estelle, and Jane and Charles have all sacrificed so much while Marcel and his other relatives have gone selfishly on their way. It’s a rather sad tale of sacrifice and selfishness. It helps that Balogh is using third person dual point-of-view as we view events through Marcel’s and Viola’s perspectives. It’s quite the fun start as Balogh introduces us to a new character…with a scandalous reputation and follows this with a potentially embarrassing encounter for Miss Viola Kingsley, who seizes the opportunity to find herself. It’s been three years since Someone to Love, 1. The couple focus is on Viola Kingsley and Marcel Lamarr, Marquess of Dorchester. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include Slightly Married, Slightly Wicked, Slightly Tempted, Slightly Scandalous, Slightly Dangerous, A Summer to Remember, Simply Unforgettable, Simply Love, Simply Magic, The Proposal, The Arrangement, Only Enchanting, Only a Promise, Only a Kiss, Only Beloved, Someone to Love, Someone to Hold, Someone to Wed, Someone to Trust, Someone to Remember, Someone to Honor, Someone Perfect, Someone to Cherishįourth in the Westcott historical romance series and revolving around the extended Westcott family in Regency England. It is part of the Westcott #4 series and is a historical romance in a Kindle edition that was published by Berkley on and has 396 pages. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review.
