My Review:
As the 5th Wherlocke
story, I’m well acquainted with the Wherelocke’s and their special abilities.
It was a treat to come back to this world again. Lady Olympia Wherlocke, has
the gift of foresight, she is also a widow so she has a bit more freedom in
society. She is truly kind, sweet and a beautiful soul and can’t help but
attempt to help Lady Agatha Mallam out of a bad situation. She sees the good in
Lord Brant Mallam from the very beginning,
After dealing with the fallout
of his mother’s evil plots, Lord Bryant Mallam has been drowning his sorrows
and burying his head in the sand with women and booze. Even though he’s
alienated most of society with his debauchery, he can’t ignore the pleas of his
sister and is instantly attracted to Lady Olympia even if he attempts to fight
the attraction.
Watching these two dance around
each other and skate what society and the ton would find acceptable was a great
treat for me. I enjoy the dance of falling in love and when they do it’s all
the sweeter because they fought for their love and each other. Ms. Howell, is a
favorite author of mine for a reason, and this story embodies why I love
her. This is a story with love, courage, heart and just a touch of whimsy.
Overall I loved this newest Wherlocke story and I can only hope that there are
more crazy Wherlockes waiting in the wings for their story to be told, because
I have not gotten enough of this series!
