Such an incredible and powerful scene when Ewan comes to ask Annabel to marry him ( a third time) after the scandal.
Imogen stole the show at the end of the last book and is really stealing the show at the beginning of this book, Annabel is playing second fiddle to her in what is suppose to be her story. I am really looking forward to his redemption right now. Oh when Mayne thinks to himself that he is "tarnished" it made my eyes water a little bit! He decides that he is going to "save" Imogen and is calling it his "penance". I'm starting to feel bad for the way he has been treated throughout these two books. Tess does a good job of subtly insulting him throughout their conversation and Mayne just lets it go. The Earl of Mayne suggests becoming acquainted with Imogen would damaged his reputation even more but Tess just shrugs it off saying if he cared he would have improved his reputation years ago.
Oh sad, I don't like how Tess wanted to use the Earl of Mayne told him to have an affair with her widowed sister Imogen to keep her from flaunting herself at parties. As the reader it was very easy to forgive Annabel's desire to marry for money, she didn't want the life she came from of fighting to survive.Īnd again Imogen butting her way into what is suppose to be her sisters story. Annabel is singularly driven to marry a rich man and could just be written off as a gold digger but the author gives background story here and there on how Annabel's father made her keep the accounts and how she had to scrimp and save to make sure the family had enough to eat and survive on. I give major kudos to the author to be able to make Annabel likeable. Ewan asking Annabel to marry him when he first meets her was a cute scene.
