This is a continuation of the Huntresses series, a wonderful spin off of the Jonquil/Gents/Lancaster series. These books are sooo good, the characters so well written, the stories intertwined.

This story belongs to Eve and Duke, who belongs to Charlie's group, The Pack. Eve and her sister Nia are from Ireland. They are not wealthy, and even less well to do at the beginning of this story. The group has made plans to meet for Christmas, the only time they could all be together, And since this friend group is so wonderful, they have tasked Duke to get the girls from Ireland.

The trip has some difficulties, but as Duke tries to keep things in an even keep, friendships move past friendship just a bit.

Duke is an only child, and is the moderator with his family. He tries to keep everyone on an even keel, placating his family with words and deeds. But he is worn through and ready to make a new life now that he is done at Cambridge. Family is making the party difficult. But with some help, maybe change can happen.

I loved these characters. They just want to be seen, to be understood, and to feel respected. They feel it with their friends, but how to make others see it too. I love how characters from the Gents have come to play in this too. I can't wait for the next book, whose story will be next?

I loved the depth of this story where the two main characters, Eve and Duke, have felt on the outside looking in in their family relationships. One comes from a family that is struggling and almost in the poor house. The other is in the middle of a family feud that started before he was born. Each has secrets of their own. This is part of a series and became a favorite.

At its heart this is a story about family and how those connections can make ones life enjoyable or miserable. The main characters are well drawn out as are the side characters. There is a loooot of family drama, almost too much.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS BOOK! I love the way that you get to see the characters fight for one another and you see them falling in love. It's not easy, but they find the way. Sarah just writes such relatable characters and you can't help but see yourself in them.
