Will their need to be together stronger than the danger lurking around them ...

My introduction read in this series was the novella released last year in the Stars Are Brightly Shinning bundle and rereleased as a single story this July, A Bunch of Mistletoe, Trensom and Matilda’s romance, whom are side characters in this one.
Mrs Connolly’s reads always teach me a lot, being French I have few knowledge of English history (but it is growing thanks to my many reads) so I often have to google for more specific details about the events she refers in her books.
And this book is like her previous ones, so full of particulars from city’s descriptions to fashion style and so on. It is a treasure trove of information.

So, Delphi is the last remaining unmarried Dersingham triplet. She had her hope held high until the prior year when her suitor left her to the lashing tongues of the poisonous vipers of the ton. She then closed her heart and set her cap on enjoying life the way she has always longed to, visiting the historical places she always dreamed about.
Least she expected to meet again the man who broke her heart.
While I understand her ire, having been left without even a parting word, her scheme to reply in kind is rather flawed as she still has feeling for him. But she is no fickle miss and despite her justified temper, it does not blind her life and she won’t let gossips tarnish a man’s name she knows to be worthy.
Adam is a honorable man, devoted to his family. Thus the predicament he finds himself embroiled in.
I much loved him, he firstly tried to protect Delphi, and even if he did manage it badly, it was with the best intentions at heart that he chooses to let her go. But when they get reacquainted, he realizes it is then more difficult to turn his back to what they could have. But it also means to endangering her.

I just was a bit disappointed by the ending, it was too quickly resolved and rather frustrating.
Outside the resolution of the plot, I loved Delphi and Adam together.
A 4,25 stars read

I was granted an advance copy by the publisher Dragonblade Publishing, here is my true and unbiased opinion.
