This book was SO GOOD. I am in awe of Julie Anne Long for keeping up the high quality of this series, book after book. I am still invested in everything that happens to the Eversea and Redmond families, and nothing she has written has been a disappointment. But this book was top notch, one of the best, and gets 5 stars from me. It was deeply emotional and moving. The characters are unique and we know them so well by the end of the book, not by the descriptions but by their actions. I loved Adam and Evie(yes, I know). Adam was such a truly nice and honorable person, the opposite of a rake without being too good to be true. He made a very refreshing hero. Evie was strong and a determined not just to survive but to thrive and make the best of whatever life threw her way.

Compared to the previous book in the series "What I Did For a Duke", that one had more witty banter, and this one had more passion. There are a couple of cameo appearances by other Eversea men, but sadly not their wives, who I would like to see again. However there were a number of well done scenes highlighting female friendships, a nice touch. The ending wrapped up every loose end a bit too easily and quickly, but by then I was a goner, so it didn't bother me. In short, once you start reading this book, you won't be able to put it down.
