Marrying Winterborne (The Ravenels, #2)

5 STARS
OK, so where do I begin... Oh how I love thee, let me count the ways... I simply adored this book. I adored the characters and the storyline. Dear Lord, my heart melted many times over. Our Mr. Winterborne is such an unlikely romantic. He's randy and crude, and he's hotter than Hades himself. And Helen, I loved her too. And the little orphan... It all just brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. I almost dread going on in the series, because they're all going to wane in comparison.
I understand that everyone reads these books and has different experiences with each story. Well all I can say is, if you didn't like this one, you have no soul. Ok, maybe that is a little harsh, but dammit, that's how I feel. I think you get the picture. So on to Pandora's book. I hope it lives up...
“Cariad, nothing about this is casual to me. But if you want a long, sensitive discussion about my feelings, I can't help you. I'm from North Wales, where we express ourselves by throwing rocks at trees. I've had more feelings in the past half-hour that I have in my entire life, and I'm at my limit."
"That still doesn't -"
"I love whatever it is you're made of. All of it.�

Following the countess's gaze upward, Pandora said reverently, "It's the Church of Shopping."

The indoor climate was moist, warm, loamy. A world away from England, a glass palace filled with brilliant color and exotic shapes. He was greeted with the pungency of potting soil and dense greenery and thin sharp orchid perfumes, and a pervasive smell of vanilla.

As she stood there with the little girl in her arms, Helen realized that the course of her life had just been permanently altered, like a train that had crossed a switch point and moved onto a new track.

I like that word," Pandora mused. "Strumpet. It sounds like a saucy musical instrument."
"It would lighten up an orchestra," Cassandra said. "Wouldn't you like to hear the Vivaldi Double Strumpet Concerto in C?"

So I suggest reading on. We don't want to miss out on any potential swooning opportunities! ;)

Wonderful review, Karen. I knew you'd love Rhys and Helen is a very special lady.. As for the next book, prepare to be at least amused by Pandora's wit and Gabriel is definitely worthy of his genes....

And Sebastian's little quips are just as fabulous. 🥰
