Lord Graham Whorten is bored of society. As a 30-something unmarried son of a
Baron he has seen too many London seasons full on insipid conversation
and social climbing debutantes. He knows he should find a wife but none of the
belles interest him. His curiosity is peeked when he sees a woman near
his age wearing a dress of an unfashionable color hiding behind a potted
plant at a ball. When he tries to talk with her, she is evasive which
only feeds his curiosity. As he tries to discover who she is, he is
exposed to a dark side of the Ton society and
is challenged to examine his own values and behaviors.
Can
you tell I have been traveling again? Hunter's books make the perfect
caramel-corn reading for riding on airplanes or waiting for the metro.
This one is in a different series from the other Hunter's books I have read
recently. Part mystery and part social commentary it is mostly a romance
with a cast of stock characters we have come to expect in Hunter's books. There is perhaps more of Hunter's anachronistic Christian musings than in the others I have read, but I really don't mind. They are just a fun, fluffy, clean, historical romance to take my mind off long hours in a cramped airplane seat. (2018, 376 p.)
