But I really wasn’t heavily invested in them as a couple. She pines for him, he is nice to her, then develops an attraction… and of course, they fall in love and have a HEA. They like each other, but the progression of their relationship is S L O W moving. She cares for the girls and is attracted to Westbury, but he needs a rich wife and she is the farthest thing from that. Viola is the girls’ music teacher and the caretaker of her father, once a great composer, but who is slowly losing his hearing. But after overhearing some outrageous gossip about his siblings he decides he needs a rich wife to boost his finances and get them married off. He even manages to gamble away his sister’s doweries. He pretty much gambles, drinks, and parties all the time. Westbury is rogue and a scoundrel and a wastrel. This is the story of the Duke of Westbury and his sister’s music teacher, Viola Beaton. It took me a month and a half to finally dig in and finish reading. Maybe it’s the low angst, maybe it’s the pacing… I’m not quite sure. For some reason, every book in this series has been a slow read for me.
