Lady Violet Belmaine is just finding her balance as a widow who has recently put off mourning when she’s summoned to the family seat to celebrate a sibling’s wedding. Hugh St. Sevier’s escort makes the journey somewhat bearable, while Sebastian MacHeath’s presence among the guests is a more dubious blessing. Violet is managing as best she can with her stubborn Papa, difficult brothers, and well meaning aunties, when the bride goes missing. Tempers flare, old secrets come out at the worst times, and Violet can rely on only St. Sevier and Sebastian to help her find the bride… until she discovers that St. Sevier was the last person seen with the missing lady!

Enjoyable. I found the verbal sparring between Violet, Sebastian and St. Sevier entertaining, although it could easily become tedious. Decently woven plot and interesting, fairly developed characters; most importantly, no glaringly obvious missteps about the time and place, which are all too frequent in this genre.
