    A light, quick read. Not a bad story but so many spelling and grammatical errors that it became distracting. After a bit it was almost comical. Also the valet was mentioned first as Albert and then as Randolph for the rest of the book. How did they miss that one?
  • Wonderful Story!

    Rayne Stevens has proven herself – to her father and to Society. She is a fine doctor and has taken over her father’s practice. Everyone knows Lord Sterling is a reprobate of the highest order. However, when he is dumped, battered and bruised, on the steps of her clinic, Rayne feels duty-bound to take care of him. As Edwin recovers and they spend time together, they become friends, and maybe more. Can it be that, in Rayne, Edwin has found a reason to change? I really like Edwin and Rayne, how they worked together, and how their relationship grew. We learn why and how Rayne became a doctor (at a time when it was unheard of for a woman to do so), and what tragedy in Edwin’s life caused him to turn from normal Society rake to absolute rotter. The other Merry Misfits and their husbands are here, of course. The story is very busy and interesting. The characters are faced with a long-forgotten fiancé, a rail tragedy, suspicious friends, and an angry father. There is also the delivery of twins and a rather satisfying comeuppance for an old foe. Yeah, busy. I have read and enjoyed all the stories in this series. This is my favorite. I happily recommend them all. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
