“Surely this is the last of Balogh's Huxtable books--of which I have enjoyed every one. This is the story of Con Huxtable, the bastard cousin of the other heroes and heroines. Finally we learn what happened to all that jewelry that's gone missing.
The heroine is a widowed duchess who decides to take a lover, now that her elderly husband has died--in that way, it's similar to SEDUCING AN ANGEL, the previous book in the series. However, the duchess isn't in desperate straits. She has plenty of money, an estate of her own. She just wants a lover. And she chooses Con. It's a lovely, entertaining read, and inspired me to go back and re-read every single one of the rest of the books in the series. I enjoyed them all, all over again, but it did make it clear that the theme of this whole series is "You are as happy as you make up your mind to be." Which I also believe, so I enjoyed it. Good on ya, Mary B!”
