This one took a while to get into. Kathleen's husband Theo (married for 3 days) was killed tragically in a horse riding accident. This made Devon, a cousin, an Earl. It also turns out that the estate is up to its eyeballs in debt and he has 3 unmarried ladies and 1 widow to take care of.
So, while I did like Kathleen and Devon's story, I was more interested in the rest of the family. Helen, Cassandra, and Pandora are interesting characters. Devon's brother West had excellent growth in this one too. I didn't like him at the beginning and now hope he gets a story too. It was interesting learning some of the history or orchids and the changing farming techniques.
