Rosalyn Landor's performance was the main reason I finished the book. I was so looking forward to this book as I had read the 2 previous stories and had enjoyed them but could only recommend this one if you really want to read the final book in the trilogy. Sebastian is such a likable character and although his enduring love for Violet is heart warming, I found that to become tiresome as well as it took quite some time into the story to get an explanation for Violet's inner turmoil.
I found so little of the humor that I generally like about Milan's stories. This one is cold and so filled with angst that the majority of the book was tedious having to continually read about her inner torment. Perhaps my biggest complaint about this story is that Violet does not appear to be the same woman I had encountered in the 2 previous stories. I am a fan of Milan's writing and have enjoyed many of her stories. On to the next in series! Totally loving it! A definite must read if you like your heroines to have a brain, and your plot to be a real story instead of a series of contrived misunderstandings. That just made me love this book even more.
And be sure to listen to the explanation of the dedication at the end. The 'dance' between them was fascinating and enjoyable. He knows his woman well and knows when to push and when to pull back. You get to know the Countess the way you would if you met her - encountering her polite face for strangers and then as you got to know her better, seeing a bit more and more of her real personality.
Absolutely nothing! It's refreshing to read a leading lady who is ridiculously intelligent, wildly brave, and so loving (that bit is hidden deep beneath the surface). Turns out, quite a lot! I absolutely love the way Courtney Milan unfolds this character as the story progresses. When this started, I wasn't sure how much I could love our prickly brainiac leading lady. A Kiss for Midwinter (a companion novella to The Duchess War)Įach audiobook stands alone, but those who prefer to read in order might want to start at the beginning. The books in the Brothers Sinister series: So when Sebastian threatens to dissolve their years-long conspiracy, she’ll do anything to save their partnership.even if it means opening her vulnerable heart to the rake who could destroy it for good. But Violet has a secret that is beyond ruinous, one that ties her irrevocably to England’s most infamous scoundrel: Sebastian’s theories aren’t his. Violet Waterfield, the widowed Countess of Cambury, on the other hand, is entirely respectable, and she’d like to stay that way. He’s desired, reviled, acclaimed, and despised - and he laughs through it all. When he’s not scandalizing ladies in the bedchamber, he’s outraging proper society with his scientific theories. Sebastian Malheur is the most dangerous sort of rake: an educated one.
