It's hilarious, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, better than any comedy that I know of. I think the second and the third books were my favorites in that series.I'm about 25% through Anne Gracie's A Perfect Rake, book 1 of the Merridew Sisters series. I laughed out loud 3-4 times already. This was my wife's favorite series so far, before Heartless/Silent Melody took her top spot.
As a mention: one clothing item for men that comes up time and again in all these stories, are those darn 'Hessian Boots'. They always sound so nice (hard to take off). So what do they look like - military version or otherwise? What is their history? For between $300 and $500 one can own a pair - a valet or batman is an additional cost to help take them off (especially the military version) and polish. Having a title and money may help.

I think that's beautifully put, iamthatis and I can only say that I have noticed the same kind of programmes and false personalities in myself. Shedding them requires strength and courage and it basically represents a deeply felt desire to show our loved ones and the people we can trust who we really are despite our flaws. When we can get over ourselves and our fear of showing our vulnerable side it can set us free and yes that paves the way for feeling a deep love, not just for others, but also for ourselves.Masks, or false personalities, also cover pain. I've seen that I cover my pain and don't always express it in a group setting. I grieve solo. Partially this is because I don't necessarily trust other people - the mess of a social situation where I live has bred that in me. So this is reasonable. Partially it is simple fear of vulnerability, which is rooted in vanity - wanting to appear that I have it together.
In this book, I saw that there is much more work to do - and also, that the shedding of masks and programs and false personalities can lead to a deep love.
Thank you for letting us know. I updated with 2 missing books ( yet to be released the last one. It was little confusing with these book numbers as different web pages have a different number of books on the authors webpages and distributers.There are more volumes of the Wildes of Lindow Castle series, I just didn't mention them. You can include them.
I finished The Wagers of Sin series recently, and it's really good and well written.
I enjoyed the Wager's of Sin series, and book 2 An Earl Like You was my favorite of the series. I've also enjoyed the first 3 books of the 1797 Club, and expect to go back and forth between that and Anne Gracie's Merridew Sisters series.On my kindle I have lined up Caroline Linden's Wagers of Sin series and a few books of Jesse Michaels' s The 1797 Club.
Usually I put the whole phrase in browser and type „meaning“ next to it, and you get pretty much good descriptions of those phrases.Speaking of which, what does "fit of the vapors mean?"
