Please note: Although this is a great stand-alone story; the reader will enjoy it much more after reading the others, in order (see below).
David was such a stiff, formal man, I didn't see how anyone would tolerate him. However, this author has used her magic to find a woman to compliment him by being unique. David is a widower with two children, who seem well-behaved but aren't really happy. David spends most of his time in London, but he's taken the children back to the country estate for some quality rest and relaxation.
Lady Delia Fitzwallace, a widow with three children, moved into the Dower House four months ago. Her children are trying their wings with pond scum (wanting to raise tadpoles and then frogs). Of course, David's two children want to experience the same and that leads to some conflict between the two adults. David thinks Delia's kids are hoydens and Delia thinks his children are stodgy and stiff.
One of the best parts of this book is the fact the reader gets to catch up with the secondary characters (that were lead characters in previous novels). David decides he wants to be home secretary and must hobnob with the titled and powerful, trying to get enough votes.
