A saucy spitfire who has grown into a ravishing young woman, Whitney Stone returns from her triumphant time in Paris society to England.

Customer Reviews
4 Stars
From the perspective of 1820 this relationship is oh so romantic. From a modern day perspective this relationship is oh so unhealthy. I guess the theme of this dynasty series is that the Westmoreland men constantly do the unforgivable and then their women constantly forgive them. The Duke is violent, selfish and jealous. Whitney is a submissive mouse with low self-esteem…
I will say the quality of writing was great. The characters are well formed and dynamic and the detail adds color and life without weight the story down. Overall I give it 4 out or 5 stars because it was a good enough to make me dislike the characters and be judgmental of their relationship. 😂
Author got somethings right but others wrong
For her time, Whitney was indeed strong. But even in the 1800s, Clayton shouldn’t have been excused so easily. YES England, at the time, was patriarchal BUT IT WAS NOT misogynistic, things were changing at a rapid pace. Within the timeline of this book, many laws have been passed to make things better for women and children. The author would have known, had she been more thorough in her research. For a veteran historical writer, romance or otherwise, I’m disappointed by her oversight. But inaccuracies aside, it was an enjoyable read, I laughed a lot.
Doormat heroine
Interesting read...the main character was strong in the beginning but slowly she became spineless. The hero treats her badly still she goes back to him twice! First as her betrothed and after as her husband! She was a strong character in the beginning and was reduced to a beggar in the later chapters.
