*A stand-alone companion to Of Moths and Butterflies.*

After the death of her father, Abbie Gray is offered a place within her wealthy landlord’s family. Such an opportunity, however, seems per-haps too good to be true, particularly since her own family’s feelings towards Sir Nicholas and Lady Crawford have always been tinged with resentment. But, at last having exhausted all other alternatives, Abbie accepts the invitation, deter-mined to make the most of this extraordinary opportunity.

While Abbie is being groomed according to the ideals of Society—and of the eldest son, heir to title and property—the younger brothers attempt to expose her as the mercenary they believe she must be. But when they discover that her mysterious past is disturbingly connected with their own, they are forced to ask themselves some very hard questions about the meaning of integrity and honor and, perhaps most importantly of all, what it means to be worthy of the title “gentleman.”

Firstly, I think the author did herself a disservice by apologizing for this work. I think she should market it as a “prequel”. I did not find it tedious or too lengthy. It is something like an 1800’s soap opera, but I don’t mean it in a derogatory way. I really enjoyed it. Halfway through I knew how I wanted it to end, but had to keep reading to see what actually happened.

The author is known for her grace of writing which was quite evident with Moths and Butterflies. But once again she has outdone herself.

What a wonderful and endearing, enchanting, moving and brilliant love story. Set amidst greed and a gossipy judgemental society it is a moving family saga. I totally recommend it. You will be on a roller coaster of emotions as it so easy to be involved in these amazing characters.

5,0 su 5 stelle A Victorian story well worth the read.

I had to give this book five stars, just had to. It's very well written with characters that are engaging both for the good and for the bad. I really did feel where the story was going but I was enjoying the reading of it so well that it didn't bother me one bit, I wanted to see how it would get there. Summarizing this story is difficult since so much of the world and the characters are fleshed out so well that I don't want to diminish it. I've got to give it a shot for you, though the synopsis they have is very good.
The Crawfords invite the daughter of their late overseer, Abbie, to come live with them and raise her up to their status. The eldest of the three Crawford's sons singles Abbie out for marriage, while the younger two brothers think her a gold digger and their older brother stupidly infatuated, seeing as how she's very beneath them. Abbie leaves behind her sister with her aunt (who doesn't trust the Crawfords but won't discuss why) in the hopes that if her status can be raised up then maybe she can also send for her sister and do the same for her. But once with the Crawfords, though they make every effort for her comfort and advancement, something seems a little off and Abbie just can't understand why she is being raised so high and why the eldest Crawford shows her so much attention.
The story unfolds slow and beautifully, giving you a chance to learn about every character even if you don't get inside their perspective at all. You do get quite a few different perspectives though and moving from one person to another is nicely separated. My only difficulty there was sometimes being unsure who was speaking to another. There were a few times when the conversation bounced back and forth without any he saids or she saids to make it clear. This wasn't too often but it and a few editing errors were there.
I think we can safely give this story a PG-13 rating. All in all it is a really good story with well developed characters and enough going on with secrets, suspense, and things happening that keeps the story moving and the reader well engaged. If you're a fan of the Victorian time period, this is worth a read.

A very well paced story that kept my attention throughout. The atmosphere of is well set - a sort of foreboding of what may possible come. Will Abbie face some peril? It's a well-told story of family secrets and deceit, of possibly helpful information not passed on.
